When driving on the street, be mindful of sharp right turns (banked or otherwise), and try to stay above half a tank. Also, if you experience fuel starvation, my advice would be *not* to pull over and shut the engine off, but instead to straighten the car out and try to get some fuel sloshed back over to the pump. I've encountered it literally hundreds of times on the track, but never had the engine shut off or be stranded.
Fixed your typo.

What I used to do is when coming out of the turn and starting down the straight. Jerk the steering wheel back and forth a few times to try and get some fuel back over on the right side. Now I have the RRP, and don't have to worry any more.
