Go ahead, laugh. They all laugh at first...
My Corvair is 5.25 turns lock-to-lock, and it definitely provided a bit of challenge on course. Doesn't mean it wasn't fun! A great way to scare the piss out of your ride alongs, too...


(no I didn't break traction, those rear tires are monsters, and the corvair is a powerless sack of crap. That was my passenger side cylinder head making GBS threads oil past the valve seals)

I'm signed up for a track day in April (not the same as autocross, I know) and I was wondering if you more experienced guys had some general tips for beginners.

Typically it is a good idea to change your oil and brake shoes beforehand, and bring an extra set of brake shoes to slap on afterward if you're not towing your car there. Make sure you bring enough tools and spare bits to fix whatever might go wrong, especially if the track is farther from your home than a AAA tow would cover.
