Racing Tips?

Hey all, new to this forum!

I have a pretty much stock Honda Civic (aside from a few performance mods and much to the exterior), but I used to pull in quite a few wins when I went racing. But, here lately i've been getting smoked. Any advice on how to be a better racer? Any secrets you use to race? What's your style exactly?

Any advice or stories would be appreciated!

First off.. if you wanna win you gotta stop losing.


Secondly.. IF you've hit a dry spell with your car... maybe its time to up the power output of that beast of yours. Everybody you're racing now probably have done some performance upgrades to their machine so they've equalled the playing field.

See it gives you a justifiable reason to go buy more go-fast parts for your car. Just keep saying that to yourself 'everybody else got faster... time to upgrade'.

poeople are getting lower, faster, lighter, smaller, you name it, every day. You need to get out there and put more into your car. If you dont add and work on your car you will fall behinde in the competition.

try getting some new tires, an a full tune-up. could be that ur not really running as strong as possible, so that MIGHT help a tad, not too much tho.

if u are serious about this, a 50 shot is the quickest, cheapest answer.
