i am down for either. i would rather go a track and spend $100 than get a speeding ticket or get in a wreck in the canyon and possibly pay more, plus increased insurance. not to say you cant wreck on the track (buckshot
) but the chances of hitting anything from a spin or slide is less.
granted there will be some wear and tear on tires, brakes, etc., i wouldnt drive the track any harder than the canyon. i mean, we were tearing up that canyon pretty hard. at the track i dont need to see how far my luck will run, just drive fast enough to have fun. and if for some reason you push your luck to far, chances are you'll just spin into the grass.
as randy pointed out this weekend, the only big hinderance to a track day is getting people to actually pay. we can get plenty to go (just post on coloradoracing.net), but actually getting money is another story. if we set it up, there will be plenty of time to get $100. just toss like $10 a week in a jar.
i am down for either as both are fun. i understand why a lot of people wouldnt want to do a track day, but i feel that it would be a lot of fun, and much safer. a canyon run could potentially be VERY expensive, as we almost saw on our last one on at least 2 occasions. anyway, just my .02 .
dont take this as cracking on canyon runs cause they are awesome. ive just always wanted to try driving on a racetrack. i mean, seriously, thats effin cool.
if we do another canyon run, i may have a good idea for one. im thinking boulder up canyon to nederland then over to estes park, then back. i will have to check it out though.
plus, how much fun does this look????
