That's wild Dan -- he almost clobbers you in T2!
What was interesting to me when I started racing was that I was schooled in RTR DE and I never thought about racing until I had probably about 100 DE days under my belt.
It's possible to get an SCCA racing license by just doing a 3-day Skip Barber School -- no other experience required! The SCCA racing license is recognized by most other sanctioning bodies, including NASA.
NASA Mid-Atlantic does a great job of policing this -- there are a few guys racing in NASA Northeast, however, that I think should be under serious review.
One guy, for example, a rookie with 5 races under his belt, wrecked a $225k brand new 2010 Corvette ZR1 racecar that was built by Phoenix Performance. That was 3 weeks ago and the car was DEMOLISHED! He had it rebuilt in 3 weeks for $75k to have it out for this event at NJMP.
For the most part racing we all mostly know each other. Sometimes you get random people and you have to be really careful around them until you know if they have a clue.
