The level of risk is determined by the person behind the wheel. Track time is extremely safe. I spun out at Hallet on Friday going into a corner at about 80mph just tried to get into the gas a little to quick. No harm to the Cobra or anyone else and there were 22 other Cobras and Mustangs on the track at the time, (most were behind me-HA!).

All kidding aside I think track time is very important to everyone that drives one of these hot rods. It is important for us to know how these performance cars react under different situations eg: cornering, speed, braking, and a spinout if you will. Track time is NOT fender banging unless you are driving in the Vintage class. If it was the tracks would not let you drive with just a proper helmet (I opt for a little more protection myself).

Just my opinion and not intended offend anyone.
