To stimulate discussion, I'll make a few general comments.
All the fast guys that I know have loads of experience.....10-20 years worth and they do it as frequently as possible. Kinda like fishing, 10% of the fishermen get 90% of the fish.....opportunity & practice. A good fisherman can look at a section of river and tell whether or not it is a good spot. A good AXer can look at a course and tell where he can make time or where he needs to cool it. He can then be aggressive on his first run. Aggression is a key....maybe THE key. This is hard for folks like me who have driven on the street for 40 years and have developed safe driving habits. If you're not pushing the car & yourself you're gonna be.....safe, smooth, but slow. Guys that are fast are on the edge of control...or over it, but have the ability to stich the moves together to *make it look smooth*....in the car, it is actually quite violent. Their car is frequently not traveling in the direction it is pointed. *Watch these guys closely*.... you can learn "things". They will pick off a cone or 2, but seldom have a "big moment". I watch 2 local guys that compete nationally. Never seen either of em' spin.....even in a strange (to them) car.....wierd. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Nuthin wrong with sliding the car....little slides men you're on the limit.....not to be confused with big slides....those cost time. Sliding the car while brakeing is not good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) If you're not sliding the car, you really don't know if the car is understeering, oversteering, or neutral.....thus you can't make good decisions on car set-up. These are my opinions and they are mine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |
