I like this kinda autoxing. Must have done 40 runs today.
ANyways I think I learned alot and found where I can and can't push the car harder. Hard parts was trying to focus on everything the instructors told me at once. My line are fairly good. Braking and gasing at the right point are my problem. I also noticed after several runs that it seems to me the brake bias was using to much front. I adjusted it just a bit and it seems to help. I was stopping better and not locking up as easy. I also got to ride along with instructors while they drove my car. Kinda pisses you off when someone who has never driven your car gets in and is faster then you. Last instructor to drive it had it timed and got a 50.3. I was getting 51-52 all day. But did finaly get it down to a 50.3 myself. Dam I bet if that guy had a few practice runs he could have got a 48. Definetly worth it. I really feel I know the car much better. There was also a afternoon autox but after being out in the heat since 7am and the aproaching thunderstorm I bailed. I was pretty beat. Right after I left it rained like crazy. |

Tell us more about the Evo school JP. Dave I did an EVO school last summer. All in all it was great experience. it is very humbling to have an instructor jump in your car and smoke your times! There are two levels of EVO schools. Phase 1 focuses on simple yet effective AX fundamentals. Such as LOOKING AHEAD, throttle and brake application, picking the correct lines. Instructors will also help you drive your specific cars. They will help you trailbrake on FWD cars, they spent a fair amount of time with me teaching me how to utilize lift throttle oversteer. Phase 2 approaches the "zen of AX". They set up multiple courses throughout the day teaching you how to visualize the course before running it. They explained it as having multiple runs on the course before even taking off. I didn't take the class but it appeared to be much more mentaly challenging. If you have the money and the opportunity DO BOTH! You certainly will not be any slower! |
