I've got to give Scootch some credit. He did go out there and beat the **** out of his car. Even it it was only for 15 seconds. Congrads on the win too, I got knocked out in the first round. Guess I'm not made for the drag racing scene. Oh well, Pulling off lateral G's is more fun for me anyway.

I'm regretting not getting the photographer at the HPDE I did at NHIS to take some photos of me. I guess there were 2 photographeres there and one of them said he's post pix on his web site for sale but noone seems to know anything about his web page. Oh well next HPDE is on the 23.

 

Obviously you never been on a track. VDC would be in the way the whole time. You do NOT want to leave this on.

But the rest of the stuff recommended is good. Bleed the brakes with new high temp fluid before going. And if they start to fade, on any run, after the run, make sure you bleed again, and sand the pads down a little and rotors with some light sand paper. This will get you going again.

No loose stuff in car, make sure to have your tow hook in the front bumper in case they need to pull you out, its ready instead of them trying to grab your car from anywhere.

 

This is a big no no on a track and a reason why many go off the course. You brake then turn then accelerate in the turn.

 

Agreed. Only the more advanced level drivers who have had proper instruction on trail braking should do this. Novices should not be attempting this technique whatsoever. Plus there are so many other important things novices need to learn first like proper lines, smoothness, heel-toe, looking ahead, etc.

 

Different strokes for different folks and no corner should be treated like the other.

The only time I've found myself going off is if I dont execute late braking the way I intend it to be. Like braking WAY too late.
