Re: Thank You!!

[quote=jnglgurl]Well, I won't keep you just wanted to say thanks again. I would also like to know if you have any advice about finding the right line to take the corner w/. I know that I am supposed to use the one w/ the highest exit speed...but I was not getting it. That is the one thing I totally sucked at all day!! [quote]


There may not be many people who can really give you good pointers unless they've been to the track you visited. Just some broad rules of thumb type tips. If you are serious about getting into road racing I would suggest a few books like Skip Barber Racing School's "Going Faster" and Speed Secrets: Professional Race Driving Techniques.

The tip about getting the right line is good, but the first thing I learned about was car balance and brake zones. Proper braking before the turn is essential to any great line. Also not upsetting the car balance due to sudden lift-off and stabbing the brakes suddenly, will help a LOT.

Sorry everyone, I know this is the street racing forum...
