People who take an HPDE course should be exempt from speeding and reckless driving laws. If feds and the police are allowed to after taking one, then so should everyone else.

isn't that the recyclable plastic?

>>28459474
I agree with the sentiment, but I'm not sure how many people are ready to have that conversation

>>28459478
HDPE and HPDE are entirely different things anon

>>28459494
damn. off by one letter.

Just go below the speed limit like everyone else. You're not special, and you're not a good driver.

Took some courses at Bondurant (when it existed), what I little I remember-
"Give the other driver enough room to fuck up so it doesn't involve you" and "it does not matter how quickly you get there, if you wreck out on the way to the finish".
Oh, and "good tires and brakes will likely save your ass when you inevitably run out of skill".

Guys who do a single babby's first trackday and now think they're king shit of driving are usually the LAST guys you want to be exempt from reckless laws. You should be required to have a significant amount of real track time (if you have to do point-bys it's not real track time) before being allowed to speed with impunity.

lmao what fascist shithole do you live in?

>>28459436 (OP)
Anon, a smooth track without traffic is a lot different than a bumpy ass road.
I never feel comfortable pushing on public roads.
All it takes is some leaves or a oil spill to send my car off the road.

So ban shitskins and women from driving?

How do you like the Ridge? I've only been to Pacific Raceways for a GR HPDE and had a lot of fun, but I was absolute dogshit still learning manual. That was well over a year ago now, but I'd like to get out again sometime over this summer.

>>28461424
I like Pacific raceways, but The Ridge is on a whole other level.
It's a better track by a mile.
I'll be in Shelton this Wednesday for one of the SCCA track nights
Hard to beat the $180 ticket cost.

>>28460558
it's more about drivers being unpredictable, everyone has different destinations, but on a race track everyone is going the same way

>t. just got a speeding ticket

>nonono you don't understand officer I NEED to win pole position to the grocery store and be first to the red light

speak up please, i can't hear you very well from my rearview mirror

>>28462705
I like Pacific slightly better personally but it's because those two high speed banked sweepers are really fun in my car and one of the only times I feel like the wings are doing anything other than creating drag lmao.

>>28459436 (OP)
babby done his first trackday?
now do some rally

The Ridge has more fast corners Than pacific if your worried about aero.

>>28459436 (OP)
No, what we need are one way roads out in the middle of nowhere that require an HPDE certification and basic safety equipment. Full liscence suspension if caught breaking either of these but anything else goes. Construction and maintenance would be funded by an opt in yearly tax. It would be like downhill mtn bike trails for cars.

>>28464202
It has one really fast corner, T1. If you have balls you can keep your foot in it and that is probably the most fun corner of the track.

>>28464641
Nigga, Turn 1, 9, and 10 are super fast 120mph+ turns.
3, 4, & 5 are fairly fast a well 90mph+

Pacific has turn 9 and 1.
Turn 1 isn't a turn but a slight nudge.
And turn 9 is so bumpy now you can't take it flat out in a power car.

>>28464832
Ah, I don't have enough power and have way too much grip for 9 and 10 to be particularly dramatic.

>>28460558
the fact that you understand this is proof of OP's point. although I have to agree with >>28460519 >>28463993
that you need to have way more seat time to pass the initial period of overconfidence and realize that you're not as good as you think you are. one course is not enough to take most noob drivers' ego down a notch, they think even going to one makes them a race car driver.

>>28465370
I mean yeah we all know about the Dunning-Kruger affect.
