Sucks to run the day on auto pilot because of lack of sleep.
I've done both on the way back and it depends on the person. For me, it sucked being in the sun the whole day when it is 30C or higher and then trying to drive home when I am tired, stinky, and sweaty.
After a full day of hpde, it's not hard to be mentally fatigued without even knowing it.
One thing's for sure though, I need an auto tranny and AC if I am driving up the same day.

But with the nature of both the tracks and the target audience, I think the driver overlap should be sufficiently small.

Last year we were planning on driving home after ORP (which is only like an hour and a half further than the ridge) but by the time we got to portland i realized i was almost falling asleep and it was too dangerous to drive home that night- some people can do it, and I probably could, i just think for the $~180 a mediocre holiday inn express costs it makes more sense to stay the night.

More of these is always a good thing in the community! It's the same price or cheaper than a speeding ticket and a hell of a lot less stupid.

Never thought about that. The surface area and its angles would play a big factor. Quote:

Mission is boring now for me. I like the technical nature of it(since my car isn't that powerful) but it's so hard on brakes. I did a bunch of PR days back in '06-'08 and I loved the higher speeds and fast corners. Dying the try the Ridge or even ORP.

And the thought applies not just to Mission, but also at practically every other track as well -- as long as you respect the track, you are going to be fine. Just because you leave a tiny bit of time on the table doesn't mean you cannot have fun. On the contrary, there is still a very big zone where you can be completely safe and still enjoy yourself out there on the track even when you are not driving at 10/10th.
If you are new to Mission Raceway, just ask for an instructor. Most organizations that do track days at Mission have that kind of arrangement, and they would be more than happy to show you the ropes around the track.

The issue with mission for me is the fact that one error = cement wall.
When I picked ORP for my first ever track outing is was because other than the last turn before the front straight, if you fuck up you slide into desert. Nothing to hit.

its really hard to hit anything at mission, youd have to really aim at a wall to actually hit it. it doesnt happen often, i think ive seen more people hit walls on the streets than at mission, give it a try and you'll realize its all a misconception

ICBC pays to fix the damage/buy a new car...
With that said I will try Mission at some point. Watching in car videos that little shunt to the right with the wall on the front straight looks gnarly!

The car is as slow as a slug -- I think I managed to barely break the 120 km/h barrier at the end of the front straight before I got onto the brakes. The car rolls like a yacht that is about to flip over, and I was riding on stock size all season rubber mounted on stock rims. I was pointing everyone by to pass me as soon as a straightaway comes up (though I'd like to think that I was holding my own in the T4-5-6 transitions, the T7a/b chicane, and the T8-T9 turns). Still, it was a boatload of fun, with the body roll to match, and it just goes to show that anyone can have a tremendous amount of fun in the plainest, simplest little car at a race track.
As long as it is mechanically sound, you can probably take it out to the track.
