First Autocross in the Z

IMHO, the biggest trick to getting better is seat time. Additionally, having one of the faster region guys codrive your car at an event so you can see first hand

IMHO, the biggest trick to getting better is seat time. Additionally, having one of the faster region guys codrive your car at an event so you can see first hand what you're doing the same and different than them can make a difference.

While it's too late to get in (event is capped out), you could come check out the Pittrace Match Tour in a little over a week and see what a low key national event is like. I'll be there running in BSP.
JARblue, Brendan and tims370z like this.

Completely agree! At the Starting Line School, it was enlightening when the instructor drove my car. I didn't know it could do that!

I was planning on attending the event to watch. I'll stop by in the pitts if I do. If not I'll be at the next regular event in June.
