That was my son. He rode all races on Sunday. My co-driver as they kept announcing.

man! such a good run. I love how fast you can go through slaloms. Any tips? What size tires are on the front?

I use a 315 A compound Hoosier up front.

Tips: Look ahead and focus on a single area of improvement at a time. If you know you blew 3 spots on course, don't try to correct everything at once. Secondary advice, you will never now how fast you can go through an element until you hit cones hard or loop the car. As long as you don't do it in a reckless manor, find the limits of the car/driver.

Great advice 03! I found on my first day that i was being too conservative. Next time i get out there im going to plan to hit a few cones anyway just to get a better feel for the size of the car

Do the speed bump trick they show at the novice training day. Drift slightly to the right till the wheels start to hit the lane dividers. Relate that location to a fixed spot on your hood. (I use a spot on my windshield wipers) once you are familiar with that spot you can line the track cones just to the right of the spot on your hood. You will be hugging the cones at full speed in no time.

My 5th run and 2nd fastest of the day (have a lot of cleaning up to do on the back end of that course) from april 6th's autox in south jersey. AWESOME course, really fast and I was running 80 second times. They set up a huuuuge course there.
