To all the track veterans, do you have any advice/suggestions for a track noobie?
Simply go out ther and enjoy yourself free of egotistical mind frame. It'll also help tremendously if you really listen and apply what the instructors tell you. At no time should you be pressured to doing what you're not comfortable with. As as many questions as you can. You are going to have a blast.

See you @ Cali!

In terms of having numbers on the car, can I tape mine to the small rear windows on the coupe or is this a safety violation considering that it might obstruct the driver's view when checking the blindspots?

I am asking this because I rather not stick stuff on to the paint. What does everyone usually do?

Also, where are some good places to actually try on helmets before buying?

No problem as long as you have a number.

That'd be fine at the rear windows section.

FYI, use painter's masking tape (commonly in blue). They are easy on the paint.

Did you get your car back already? I assume your breaking her in right now? LOL! Ray is already having fun just getting his car back.
