Mark - I'm a former St. Louisan (native), but didn't get into track days until I got the SLK32. We have a local track (
Hallett Motor Racing Circuit) that runs High Speed Touring events, or HST for short, that are an absolute blast. The SLK32 can scare a stock 'Vette C6 pretty good, which is always fun, but being walked away from by Vipers and Z06's is a bit disheartening.
