We met at the car show event and I know you are ready to get to the track. As someone with a turbo car, I know that anyone can go fast in a straight line. It has taken time to really learn proper braking and proper smoothness. This only comes with track time.

As an instructor, I judge a student by their ability to hit every apex, have excellent vision and track awareness, superior judgement, smoothness on throttle application,smooth application and coming off the brake, smooth steering imputs, and also speed.

Speed is not everything. Seat time is everything. I'm glad you got the bug. I'm glad you are looking for further instruction. Speed comes with smoothness!!!!!



Remember, if any of us were really superior drivers with superior skills, we would be paid to drive race cars not pay to drive our cars.

Have fun and be safe.

Absolutely, from every person I have ever talked to about, smoothness seems to be the key...


I was listening to your car a bit yesterday, sounds great! Hope you get that motronic worked out!

Also,
Anyone have any experience with hawk ht 10s on the track...Bill just outfitted my car with them...they feel great on the street, but I havnt gotten to really "bite" into em yet...
