You’ll be happy about your decision in the end.

Open track license gives you the ability to go to road courses and take your car out on your own (with instructor approval) to open it up. Thinking about starting out at Watkin’s Glen…

…Lebanon is a tough track to run good times w/ a FWD, fyi. Especially on street tires!
