I've been hearing people say this. Let me clarify. Guys...you DON'T need gloves to drive on the track.
Some people's hands sweat like crazy when they're nervous so although it isn't a requirement it might help with the whole feel good experience.
Oh I know. I use gloves myself, but I didn't want those that have never been on the track to think/feel that they "need" to have gloves on their first trackday.

I wear gloves too cuz my hands get sweaty and sticky (yuck!) but I don't get nervous on the track as much as I do when we go on Mountain runs...

Agreed. i didn't get gloves until after maybe 15 track days..and I only got them for fire protection and looking cool.
