Man I wish I could place top 10 in PAX or FTD but that is highly unlikely unless I transform myself into the Stig. Not with these drivers

After deployment I'm looking at possibly attending some sort of race school just for shoots and giggles...maybe I'll learn something or just waste money.

Evoschool ftw if you want an auto-x orriented school. Chris, Diana, and Curtis are helluva benchmark for you.

Best of luck to all 370 and 350 drivers! Sorry if I sounded like a jerk the past few days. I want to see all Z cars do well since the recent ones get a bad rap for autox. Let's just not get the 370 bumped from BS!

Yeah, I can second Evolution Driving School. First year I did it I started with the 2-day phase 1 & 2, my times dropped dramatically as a result. It's all about car placement and being as early as possible. This year I did the phase 3, it wasn't as rewarding as it was more about data analysis than driving and the instructors couldn't find anything wrong with my technique. It's not cheap, but it is a good investment if you are serious about the sport.

+1 for evo schools. did ph1 and ph2 this summer; the ph1 was more about seat time than anything for me, but having a previous DS ITR nat champ show me the ropes definitely got me thinking about how i could be doing things differently. ph2 was very beneficial for me, though. the mental course walks coupled with "instructing the instructor" really force you to think ahead all the time, and to be cognizant of what cones are really important.

i'll be doing ph3 next year. i've got the maxqdata quantum/video setup already, so having a day to spend doing analysis should reinforce/open new doors in that aspect.

seat time, seat time, seat time!!!
