Went to my secret track at night in the last two weeks, and i found i was able to go through the turns at a much faster rate, and I found myself extremely comfortable in night performance driving. Of course the secret track was dark for the total 4 miles of turns and twists---almost zero cars in the secret track at night. This is another interesting driving experience. All I relied on was the G-35 head lamps and the road markers. It seems our eyes do constrain our ability to function beyond our normal routines and performance standards. If I had a race team, i would train my drivers at night and not in the day time.

Thanks. Yep! This time of year the deers are active near cities--crosing roads. However, the secret track is sort of like a prairie land with tracks---you can see everything in sight. Nonetheless, I will still be careful as it gets colder and the deers get closer to the towns.

Yep! Thats right, especialy when you are at high speeds on a curve and then you have want to slow down a little---this is where the brake fade, warps on the rotor, suddenly become very evident and the rear of the car wants to give way--I am extremely cautious under those conditions.

Thats right! My dad was a speed demon when I was a kid, and so i got used to speed very early on in life--he never got tickets and hardly an accident in his life--I owe my crazy but safe driving skills to him because I watched how he did it. I thought it was normal to go fast all the time but I was so wrong after a few tickets of my own. I guess I still have a few things to learn from the old man---my annual budget always factors in at least 1 ticket a year. Driving is therapy for me. I don't have to be on a mission to anywhere---I just get up on some mornings and drive. And sometimes, i go to my secret track in the morning and do 2 laps before going to work---always gets my spirits calm and clears my head very well
