EAGER TO LEARN HOW TO RACE BETTER

Learn how to launch correctly. Don't simply rev up and dump the clutch. Feathering will net you better results.

Yep, try not to spin the tires too much. Also, focus on your reaction time, DONT do a burnout before, bunrouts make street tires less grippy. Other than that, dont blow a shift and you should be fine.

Something you should invest in...

Feathering?

yeah like balancing the clutch and gas to acheive a good balance of grip and power.

be curtious, dont stage till the next guy is pre stages, etc, i think theres a writeup on this in another forum, or maybe this one.

Yeah, if the guy would decide to release his 92-96 kit already. You have no idea how long this guy is taking to release it. I've been talking to him for 2 years now and it still isn't out. If you have a 4th gen, you should just go forbidden motorsports instead.

I appreciate the help guys

Before hitting the track, there are 3 things that you should consider: how good your car is, how you drive strategically and how to fully know the racetrack.
