    LOL, no...lol, I had been running solo for 2 days with track days in the black advanced group. On the third day, it was the Mazda group and since they didn’t know me, they wanted to do a sign off drive with an instructor.

    The instructor was 250’ish, got in my car and asked if this was my track car or street car.

    I told him it was my daily driver and he responded with “oh no, I can’t do that... the last time I was in a car that was a DD, it got totaled”

    We made it one lap.

    Hit the inside edge of the gator (which I had been doing for two full days) and with his weight, the car bottomed out and ....

    well, the rest is history.

    EDIT: Now, I’m not blaming him for my driving but buddies that were at the track said that when I came off the gator, you could see the car bottoming out which it had never done before, the only thing that was different was my “added weight”. All I know is when your car is corner weighted and setup for one person, I’m keeping it that way....

    :Thumbsup:Thank you. Now I understand and I won't make any Body Mass Index comments either as heavy people tend to be touchy and defensive and often times lash out at others.Overeating to deal with depression, poor self image or previous childhood abuse, who knows?

    Yeah, I didn’t say he was too fat, he was just too much weight for my setup.

    :D
