Great to see you had so much fun.
One of these days I'm going to have to try one myself and see what those speeds feel like.
It must have been a shocker to see that cloud of smoke suddenly, and I'm interested to see what caused it, so thanks for starting a thread about that too.
I have heard other first timers on the fast tracks as well and they loved it but at the same time where more than a little scared at times and of course worry about their car holding up.
It certainly is a thrill no matter how you look at it.
It sure is reassuring though to have an instructor in any case, although when you ride along in their car it will likely take your scared to a whole new level.
I was astounded in an Auto-X ride along so I can't imagine what the full speed ride along would be like, but if you get the chance, take it!!!
