The Streets of Willow at the WCC got me all fired up for the Big Track. ( you were right, Bill )
June 24-26, I plan on running the GGR DE and TT at Buttonwillow. Who else wants to stretch your legs? What advice can you offer? ( besides brakes ) KT |

KT, apologies for giving you the first taste of the real stuff. It is a major hook. But FWIW, all we were trying to do at Willow was to play a fantasy game. You dress up like a racer, put on a helmet, get your picture taken, and wow your friends back home.
Speaking as one who doesn't go fast enough to hurt his car (or the competition), I can have a ball shifting at 5500 and taking it easy on the brakes. Learning the right line and correct driving form doesn't break your car; trying to shave a few hundreths off your time to prove your machismo will. Or worse, trying to excerise the beast on the street. For all of you who wouldn't dream of taking your 'too nice of a car' out to a DE or event like this, ya just don't get it, and probably never will. Don't go to the Monterey Historics, it will really bother you (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
