Hey William, don't let this happen to you!

p.s. if the car (or the woman) looks like this, it's probably been tracked.

Hi all...my 2 cents on tracked cars. If a car has been taken to an occasional club/track event that is really cool. That is really do only way to enjoy these cars. Also a great way to improve your driving skills!!!

That and maybe going into the grass too deep.

Also, a little 90 mph drifting can have a similar effect.

Rob...

I like the water stains on the seat one... Is that from going into the corners too deep???

I think a tracked car is a loved car. Anyway...

1) Does the car come with an extra set of wheels, racing slicks on that extra set would be really obvious.

2) Oil change/brake bleed records before and after historical things like FCA/Cavallino annual meets.

3) Possibly tire wear bordering on sidewall.

4) Previous owner's name was William and he owns a Lambo.

5) Water type stains on the seat.

Are there any subtle telltale signs besides the obvious ones (e.g. excessive stone chips, suspension/exhaust modifications, etc.)?
