I had my first autocross experience this weekend and had a lot of fun. Considering my car's setup I should be able to do much better than I did. I'm not saying my car is well setup, but that I've got close to zero skills.
What I'd like to do now is start learning some of the basics of racing, vehicle dynamics, etc. I want to at least have the theory down and get some idea of what I should be doing. So I'm looking for reccomendations on books or videos or anything that can help me get started with this. -Tony |

Anthony thanks for the kind words for myself and for the GGR programs.
This is what I tell my students all the time...but until they actually go thru the school or at least several AXs with instructors, they never believe that it can make that big of a difference. Yes reading is essential to help a person understand the terminology and to be able to apply it to their car and their driving...that way they can ask for suggestions from folks at the AX and understand what is being said...that, to me is very important for a newbie. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Seat time is great...but if you don't know what you are doing and why, then the seat time is only going to reinforce bad habits that will only take you longer to overcome, besides just doing it right to begin with.
