Well I attended my first track day (HPDE) this weekend with Nasa-Ma at
Summit Point. All I can say is, if you've thought about doing this don't
wait any longer. Even if it's not in the mk3 because you're worried
about something breaking, take a car out there and have fun. The Supra
did great, although I was easy on her at times (normally shifting at 5k
but earlier in traffic) I have never thought I'd be able to corner as
well as I did in this heavy of a car, maybe sometime next year I'll look
into coilovers for even more grip. It's a cool feeling coming through a
sweeper at 75-80 and feeling confident doing it. I enjoyed getting a
point by from a Shelby at one time and didn't mind giving one to a civic
that didn't even have to lift coming through the corner onto the
straight. I learned a lot about my car that I hadn't learned on the
street or in an auto-x.

Just wanted to pass this along to anyone that's considering a track
event in the future.
