Marty:
I heard about the "Beginners DE" in Watkins Glen 7/24 at my first RTR meeting (just joined). I have a friend that lives up that way and I would like to take my Cayman to WG to participate but I have a concern. I realize that people who are serious about DE get extra tires and wheels, change out their pads, etc. However, I am not planning to get serious with DE and make this investment but would like to do this beginner session while my tires and brakes are new. My concern is that I have been told the track conditions will damage my paint with flying chips, etc. My car has only 2,000 miles on it (brand new last July) and not a mark on it, and I am therefore reluctant to participate. Is this a legit concern on my part?
