The "Racing" we do is against the clock and not rubbing door handles as you cut through the inside and then shutting the door on him in the next corner. It's a sprint event, you go as fast as you feel comfortable.
I've only seen a couple of incidents when a car has been seriously damaged at the track. Most people just blow up engines or break gearboxes and diffs.

different horses for different courses I just want to have a nice car where me and the mrs can go for a nice pleasant drive up thru the Adelaide hills or down the beach on a nice evening . my hoon days on the road are long gone along with quite a few points off my license over the yrs :-) or if the mrs wants to pick up a friend and go out for coffee she can ..I did the track day thing when I owned my last skyline and to be honest they didn't do much for me always the thought in the back of the head I would put it into the Armco at Mallala .
as for blowing stuff up its hard enough to keep up with engines and diffs on the race car let alone busting stuff on a road car . not having a shot at those who build there cars and track them it's just not my thing
