Thank you very much for your input, it's exactly the kind of thing I am looking for. Steve, what you described is very much the reason why I spent the last two season running around with a bunch of cone heads on parking lots. I wanted to become comfortable with braking, turning, accelerating in my car for before I went out and got in way over my head. I haven't rushed my driver training & I'm completely comfortable with that. As I have stated before, I feel like I'm ready to move on to something a little more challenging and to me DE is that next step. I will do with DE as I have done with my autoX & that is let it come to me, do the very best that I can but not get into a situation I cannot handle. I too find being on track very relaxing which is why I decided to invest in myself first before I dumped a ton of money into my car trying to make it faster. All I want to do is make the most I can out of my time on track. I go to Summit Point religiously (it's easy since I'm under an hour away) and one thing that I have noticed is the front runners, the really smooth guys, always look like they are just out putzing along. When in actuality they are absolutely flying. That is what I want to work towards.

It sounds like, based on what you've written, that you have a pretty good understanding of the handling dynamics of your car already and that you take learning to drive well pretty seriously. With the type of learning ethic you have you are going to be fine at DE events. Look forward to meeting you at some point.
