Spouse's butt was well kicked by a $1500 ticket and by me - the Parks is a two lane windy, lousily maintained mountains to swamp road.

I've been "on the track" a number of times. It's a great experience with smart instructors and lots of safety. Not since about 1994, though.

On the track is a blast. I had a girlfriend back in the 80's who was also an instructor. We don't have high speed tracks here, just roundy rounds, but they're still fun.

We're very "in the sticks" here - and that is NOT safe to do high speed driving. Period.
