Depends on who's running the event. Some events only allow passing in certain areas...others have rules that the car being overtaken must "point by" the car overtaking him/her by sticking their arm out the window...the theory being that the person being passed knows what's going on. Some are just wide open, drive at your own risk events...passing anywhere, no special run groups by driver skill/vehicle capability. Most are simply "open track" events and if you crash it's your problem...and most insurance companies won't cover it. However, I have seen events where it was structured event where there was driving instruction taking place and insurance actually covered the damages. Either way it's risky. I've seen cars totalled (backed into a wall at speed), rolled, etc. Insurance companies have gotten wise to people trying to claim it happened on the street when it in fact happened on the track in some cases (requiring a police report is one way of filtering the bullshit). I believe it was this year that one of the guys from the Detroit SAAC chapter hit a tree at Gingerman and died...I believe I heard they thought he had a heart attack and then hit the tree. Point is: anything can happen.

Makes me want to go back to closer to stock and start tracking again. With the blower and the convertor it would be darn scary at the road course.

I was always impressed at what my C5 could do on the course, and I'm not even a good driver.
