I had a bad experience doing a DE at Summit two weeks ago.
First, I found out that one of my track tires had a nail in it at the last moment. Well, driving street tires can be fun sometimes. Actually, I had a lot of fun running street tires on Saturday as I was not the slowest guy out there and I can play with some lower horse power cars with track tires.
Second, I forgot to bring my eye drops and I wore my contact lens for 16 hours straight and rubbing my left eye too many times during the day. I ended up going to the emergency room on Sunday because I scratched my cornea and it hurt so bad that I had a hard time driving from Shooney's to the track.
I have the car there at the track, weather was good and I can't drive because of my eye.
If I have to pick, I would pick health but no wealth. I prefer to have both.
What good is wealth if you can't take advantage of it to have some physical fun like driving fast in a race track.
Now I give you track junky a tough choice.
Wider but less sticky track tires (Like the Kumho Vector Racer, 245/275 17)
or
Narrower stickier track tires (Like Hoosier, 225/255 17)
