At least there won't be any soccer mom's blabbing on their cell phones running you off the road as they blindly merge onto the highway.

I'd just make sure that I am familiar with the track first, that's all.

BTW, who here is over 30 and grew up riding in car seats? Very few.

Dangerous? Try living in Seoul, Korea. You can get ran over just walking out your front door. You can't see sh1t backing out of my garage which goes right into the street. No sidewalk. So basically I just pray no one is coming. Not to mention motorcycles riding on sidewalks, lots of traffic, roads barely wide enough to fit 2 cars with people on both sides, and plenty of bad drivers.

I'll take my chances driving around a closed course with relatively well trained drivers.
