My fear mostly is the financial outlay were I to have a serious incident involving damage to the car. The same applies to personal injury, but I didn't choose that in the poll simply because its not something I consciously think about while at an event.
I do think about damaging my only car at the moment, so at every track, I look for my 'outs' and places on the circuit where I know it's pointless to push it because of the consequences if something went wrong (the NASCAR banking at Rockingham immediately comes to mind for me).
I'm usually not concerned with getting home, simply because there is always someone willing to help out in that regard... even complete strangers. And I can't stress enough the value of AAA Plus... get it now if you don't have it!!

Since I switched to the 944, I'm actually less worried about damaging the car because it should be relatively less to fix it. The car has all the safety gizmos I want with the exception of NAZ bars so hurting myself is still top worry but I'm getting to the point now where I basically have done everything safety wise I can short of buying a CF seat with wings etc.

Speaking of which, did you ever do a final Build Sheet?

Not to go too far off topic here but Build Sheet being all the thing done to build a race car.
Starting with factory config... what came out, what went in.
