This was exactly my point and having NA Goodness say what he said was an absolute text book example.
Im not the best driver in the world however i have many competitive events worth of experience. AHG AUtotest and sprint rounds, drag racing, Classic Challenge, Dutton Rally, AEM speeddome, and have no idea how many laps at wanneroo driving various cars from lame to fairly wild. Yes it costs to get this experience but its such a small fee in comparison to what we spend on our cars. (Couple of grand for wheels, couple of grand for body kits etc etc). Instead of buying the guages and the pillar pod which looks really cool but you dont actually need, spend that money towards getting some track time.....if nothing else, you will learn very quickly where your vehicle limits are, where the driver limits are, and you will have a new respect for your machine.
Just my 2 cents.
As Paul said, if you want to get into motorsport contact him, or myself if you like as we are always happy to help people out getting in to this!!!
