That's my ride.  Group: Members Posts: 2,151 Joined: 17-January 03 From: Redondo Beach, CA Member No.: 166 Region Association: None  |
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 |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Man I was nervous my first time out. I could hear my heart beating. I have limited ax time, so I don't have advice on how to drive. What I have learned is to show up early and walk the course, pay attention to the other drivers, try to work the difficult corners during work sessions and take your time. Race against yourself and keep it fun. Getting an experienced driver in the car with you is a plus.
Keep at it! I think I am going to take a look at some of the reading material recomended in this thread. |
