They also run autocrosses where you can learn a lot about the limits of your car without the high speeds of the track. Just be sure to put some painter's tape on your front bumper in case you take out some cones! (don't want cone rash)

Also, if you're really into it, a good book to read that has a chapter on vehicle dynamics/car control is "Going Gaster" by Carl Lopez/Skip Barber.

Enjoy your new baby!

The '63 is my first high performance car, and at times, I actually mute the radio so I can heard the engine roar... the best is downshift when I get off the highway... the sound, the torque, the gadgets... intoxicating!
