the people that own the track couldn't care less, they are still making money regardless, but yeah, auto's should be okay, sicne the accord v6 was competing...

Price list?
If that's the case..... I'll take my parents' cars and give them a spin. They're faster than my civic and sometimes driving auto is more relaxing.

When on a road course, I run with the windows down for several reasons:
1. If I flip over for some reason, I can just crawl out of the car and not worry about the window.
2. If I flip over, I don't have to worry about glass shattering.
3. Lapping days tend to be in the summer, and it's hot. Would you rather be slower due to running A/C or due to a little more aerodynamic drag?

Besides.. you won't suffocate with the fan on... but you'll sweat a bit.

In 25-30 degree weather, it's still extremely hot in the car even with the windows down, let alone windows up and vents on. Regardless, with the exception of those of us that participate in autocrossing, does it really matter if you're not going as fast as possible? Most of us are just doing lapping days where passing isn't allowed except on the straights. I think it's safe to say that 99% of us, myself included, would be much quicker on the track if we learned to drive properly first and worried about stuff like engine power, aerodynamic drag, etc. afterwards.

Every observer and real racer will tell you.. it's not how much power your car has, or how fast your car is.. it's how fast your reaction times are.
