Cobra Driving Takes Skill

And mine is set up to handle well. But when I get the urge to really push it, I make sure I am on the track. If something goes wrong, so far, minimal damage is the result. That said, driving my beast is the most fun I've ever had with my clothes on! Rich

Sorry to revive an old thread but this spoke to me as I'm coming off of motorcycle racing this season. I've decided to hang up the moto helmet and would like to get on the track with my SPF. I'd really appreciate some help/recommendations to:
- properly prep/modify my SPF for track riding (while still street legal)and potentially racing. (Passing tech)
- find recommendations for forum-favorite track day providers and driving schools for local bay area tracks. I've had a lot of moto seat time at Thunderhill, Laguna, and Sonoma. Doubtful our cars have a chance at passing sound at Laguna but Sonoma and Thunderhill should be fine, correct?
- recommendations for mechanics in the East Bay to help with mods.

Cheers and thanks in advance
