Message	not to scare you away from track events, but your car has turned into more of a show car then a track car. Being a novice driver, a trip off the paved surface in some undesirable direction is in your future. Hell, I still off from time to time because I'm finding out where my own or the car's limits are. That's one reason why I started Z-Lab, to end my paranoia over offing my green car (plus my wife wants to track, and there's no way in hell she's going to track the green car. :-) ) Just want you to think about what you're venturing into with that car...
