Im completly psyched...


hmm...for any who know, how much faster(while being smoother and safer) then the group (say blue) does one need to be to move up in run group, and how quickly could this happen given an accelerated learning curve?


I dont want to say Im worried about this or that I will be relying on my car, but the turbo has alot of pop and Im more then eager to let it loose a bit...



BTW, had a great time at the Supertech, learned lots of great stuff!


Any Clubracer/instructors willing to sit shotty with me?

Your car is a handful for all but the most experienced drivers. You have a lot of physical/mental training to learn to drive at speed on the track that takes practice. You will be fast on the straights in the turbo but just like every new driver you will need to learn how to drive in the turns. The proper line, where to turn in, hitting the apex and when to acelerate out of the corner are all learned skills. You will need to train your vision to look ahead. No mater how much talent you have these skills take practice (seat time) to develop. Lets add how to brake and throttle control to that list of as well. I suggest you focus on learning and not on how fast you advance. Be safe and have fun.

The seat time issue is one thing I TRUELY lack and have plans to correct that very quickly. As I mentioned, I will be at nearly every event after the Shenandoah event!

I have already send an email to Mr. Herman about having a clubracer ride with me, but if there is anyone else who wouldnt mind giving me some "accelerated" help, I would be thrilled to take it!
