Add one more to the "must wear proper driving footwear" list. I can't underscore enough the difference a driving shoe will make in one's ability to drive a sports car well.

I wear driving mocs (loafers) to work, then slip on my heavy dress shoes when I've arrived. I have some mid-top Addidas race shoes that work great for weekend canyon fun or at the track. Your ability to feel and apply the precise amount of throttle and brake inputs will become heightened, and the overall driving experience that much more enjoyable.

get it?
um.. when i'm at the track/auto-x, i'm doing one and one thing only, driving. i don't care if i don't have a high quality leather oxford sneaker on so people think i look pretty, even though the nikes do look nice. i've never been labeled as a nascar fanatic and it just goes to show other people that you have a passion for this sport and take it seriously (but have fun too).

Is the date set yet? Couldn't find it on the site, but I may have not looked hard enough.
