Jeffko, I had the same concerns for my first track event. Reluctantly, I attended with BFGs. Boy -O- Boy did I have a blast!!! The first thing that I noticed was that the BFGs became very sticky. After a few laps, the car was stuck to the track more than what I've ever felt on the street or autocross course. In the controlled environment, I kept pushing the car harder and harder and it just kept sticking to my suprise. It was a totally new experience and a different car with warm tires. Of course the BFGs are not a racing tire or even a sticky performance tire....but I was suprised and they offered way more performance than I could handle with my skill level. One of our club members that attended the same event, just fitted a set of Hoosier DOT and had problems all weekend. It was his first time driving on the bias ply tires which hunted and followed the contours of the track surface. He was uncomfortable with the way these tires made the car feel and didn't have enough time to get used to them at the event. These events are all about having fun with your car!

Don't wory about speed or competativeness. There will be plenty of guys that are much faster and plenty that are slower. Niether which has any impact on your own personal "fun" level. Get your car out and have some fun!!!

Looking forward to meeting all of you WCCC guys!!
