I hear yah bro. Have you ever thought about going to a performance driving school, they can teach you so much about how to handel a car in almost any situation(not trying to rip on you, but you know this). My pops taught me at a young age like we discussed on the way home. Good luck bro and you got my number so hit me up sometime.

There are alot here in GA(home of racing), they are called HPDE(high preformance drivers education) I beleive. Alex talk to sharif about it, Im sure him or Devon, Michael, or Chris(FP crew) will be able to let you know where to go. It will be a great thing to do and will help your confidence when driving your car(no your cars limits), now more than ever since you are going to be boosting.

Don't feel discouraged from driving up there. There is nothing wrong with taking it easy. And rain is always a and it is especially important to know how your tires react to rainy conditions.
