What run group? Anyone do anything questionable?

Novice for me. Lots of point by given.

The whole group for black flagged at one point. I think someone went off track.

One BRZ did an inside pass on me during the cool-down/checked flag lap.

I love Track Night. It is the cheapest way to get on track .

$150 for 3x 20 min sessions. I don’t think you can get that cheaper anywhere?

The only bad thing is you can just “claim” your skill level and sign up for a run group with no background check to see if you can “hang”. A person who has never been on track can literally sign up as for Expert run group . Never heard that happen before, but what you do get is a lot of Novices who think they are ready and sign up for Intermediate/Experienced level making that a dangerous run group.

Good to hear. I had planned on going, but life happened. I’ll have to make a stronger attempt to make it out to a future event.

They also did a couple ‘ track tour' laps at low-ish speed. I got in those too.

Pace laps? yeah I think they do one before the first session goes out and then one half time where any car can just go out at like 20 mph to say they did

Yes. Did those too, but didn’t remember the right name for it. The  track tour was a separate session later.

I don't think the latter matters right? It's about how comfortable and experienced you are, not what car you bring. Or is TNIA more about faster cars?

Slow cars are just fine. Bei ng sl ow and not letting people pass would not be ok. It wasn’t an issue.
