Byron understands what happens when things go wrong at the race track. These five simple rules will keep you from making common newbie mistakes.
or SCCA or whatever track day org you choose to patronize. While this won't do you any good if you total your car and need a ride home, at least you know you'll be made relatively whole again at the end of the day. Make sure you understand any applicable deductibles and exclusions before you purchase.
Also, never count on your street insurance paying out for damage sustained at the track. In fact, always assume it won't, no matter what that guy on Twitter said about asking forgiveness rather than permission — you won't get it. Tracking a car is vigorous work, both mentally and physically. Professional drivers are athletes, not merely athletic.
To that end, you need to eat and keep yourself hydrated. Both are easy to forget when you're running on enthusiasm and adrenaline. Both can also be objectionably expensive things to do at a race track, so plan ahead. Hell, eat McDonalds if you have to. An old-fashioned double-cheese is cheap and nutrient-dense. Provided fast food doesn't make you sick to your stomach, it's way better than nothing. It's not just your muscles that need nutrition.
And do us all a favor and check your emotions at the door. There's no place for"red mist" at a track day. If you can't handle being passed, stick to autocross, or trolling people more talented than you on Twitter. In other words, beware the sunk cost fallacy. If your only reason for sticking around is the fact that you spent a lot of money to be there, that's a sure sign that you should pack up and head home.
But my biggest mistake was violating rule # 5. Anybody else could be breaking any number of these rules at any time; the only variable you can control is your own performance. I should have killed my alarm, rolled over and gone back to sleep. Don't be afraid to go home.
