I passed an Integra on the front straight, but I neglected to get back on the right side of the track, so I hit turn 1 to fast at the wrong angle and spun off the track doing about 80 or 90 mph. I sprayed gravel on the track so everybody had to exit the track while they cleaned up.

My car survived basically unscathed. I have several small rock chips in my paint and on my rims and some gravel got shoved between the rim and the tire bead, but I picked most of it out with a screwdriver and all was well.

I gotta say, I wish I had instructors the first two sessions instead of the last two. I had no idea what line I should have been on until I had instruction. What a world of difference it made.
