I do have one question though: Is that much tire debris normal on a track? I wouldn't ever feel comfortable tracking my car with the amount of tire chunks pelting the shit out of the front of the car.
At the couple of BMW HPDE that I have attended, there is some melted tires and some sticks to your tires making you think there out of balance but I don't remember the amount of crud flying up like there was at this event. Heard one instructor say to another the one of the M3 windshield we broken.

Overall it was damn fun for someone who's a beginner on the track. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who's experienced at the track, though. I think it might be boring especially if you get put in a novice group on the track portion.

When you sign up you specify if you are a beginner, intermediate or pro. Which helped some.
