I wasn't suggesting doing it foolishly. When I drive fast (100+) I always have a friend down at the other end of the road watching for cops and oncoming cars. It's also done on a very lonely road with no traffic, pedestrians, etc. If my buddy calls my cell phone, I shut it down quickly, then answer the call to find out why he's calling.

Tracking one's new Boxster voids the warranty instantly, although you are right, it's a far safer place to drive fast unless there are idiots who are flagging people to run another lap when someone is coming off the track (i.e., the P-GT driver who died this summer in CA). Even on track days it's dangerous.
