OK. I'm pretty nervous. I'm going to try to autocross for the first time at the Porsche Parade in Charlotte. I need advise. My biggest concern is seeing the course layout. And overdriving. Or being laughingly slow. How should I approach this? I've been reading "Solo Driving Secrets", and done a couple of DEs, but an AX is so condensed. I think if I missed something I would get lost in a sea of pylons.
Anybody wanna guide me down (then over, and back, and over again, and back, and around to the left, then back down) this asphalt path? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |

Walk the course as many times as possible before you run. Your first run out go slow on purpose to make sure you "get" the course. After your second run at a faster speed if you are lost on the course find an instructor to ride with you and show you were you are getting lost. Don't worry about being slow it really is more about having fun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
