Is there really a demand for this type of thing in Vegas? I doubt it but whatever.

I would like to have an instructor job to get to drive these cars at their limits, BUT, I see how other people drive and I don't want to die at the hands of some idiot.

Driving these cars at their limit is a physically and mentally draining activity.

Having an understanding of physics doesn't help matters. A 60mph crash into an abutment or similar is roughly the same as pulling a "Thelma and Louise" off a four-story parking garage. Thanks, but no thanks.

I like motorsports -- autocross.

I'd track my 991 there. Miss going to Thunder Hill back in CA to track our cars. Hopefully, this is an option.

Just drive toward Area 51 -- there are sections of the Alien Highway that are so deserted, you'd be able to see the cop on the horizon before they could put a laser on you.

I'm planning on driving my little toy to Deadwood and back this summer. Plenty of sections of road with next to nobody on them, the route I plan to take.

I'd like to have access to a track -- alone. I simply don't trust Las Vegans enough to share a track with them.

I work construction. I know a thing or two about exhaustive work.
Driving a fast car fast does take a lot of work, but the neck and arms have it the worst. My neck is pretty much solid muscle. I usually take the power steering out of my cars, so, the forearms are good too.
The physics of driving fast are awesome. I love testing out my car to see what it can do, and what it does when I do X.
