Well atleast for most of us who have done track days , its worth every penny and we wouldnt mind going back to it again and again .. Actually all of us are awaiting for the next one eagerly ..

Well , personally these track days have benefitted me a lot .. Once it thus happened that my entire family was out on a drive to tirupathi .. As we passed the toll gate dad proceeded further to overtake a zen which was on the centre lane .. We were on the right lane .. Doing speeds of about 120 with no other vehicle in sight for the next 1km atleast .. As he was about to overtake the zen guy cut us off (for no reasom) and came that close to hitting the car .. In trying to avoid the hitting dad braked hard and in trying to see how close the zen got to the baleno , in shock let go of the steering .. Car started to fish tail wildly as his hands were off the steering and he was braking inches from the divider .. Could have turned out to be very fatal ... Without much thinking i immediately grabbed hold of the steering from the passengers seat , kept moving it trying to get the car in a straight line while frantically shouting at dad to " POWER UP dad POWER UP , DONT BRAKE" .. Luckily he heard it and soon the car came back under control .. He then came to a halt and let me drive .. It all happened in a split second.. Since then he never hesitates to let me drive on the highways .. And mom prefers me driving all the time , though im sure nitrous and islero wouldnt want
..
I would attribute this solely to v1p3r and psycho who right from day one made it a point to make me understand the behviour of FWD's and for track day to give me oppurtunity to figure out how the theory worked in real life and also help me find the limits of my car ... Kudos to all of them
