Rob,
I started young; Cooper 500 at 15, Mini Cooper at 18, Formula Ford at 21 in
NZ, Aust & Europe. Now raced 64 Different Race cars at 56 different tracks.
mostly vintage type cars as that is what I enjoy the most! Tires are skinny
and the driver is fat.
There is no one way to get better, But it starts with a "Great" Driving
school. Not some noddy playschool toys but Real race cars with real race
drivers as tutors.
Go watch a local Sprint/midget car race! Pavement or dirt. Take notes of the
starts & restarts.
Find some buddy's and get your own indoor go karting league going. 3 x 1
hour races a night per month or more! "Seat time". Inter car club races
usually gets the Blood flowing ;)
Get somebody "really Good" to test your car. Not to break it, but to set it up
and set a bench mark for you. This is important ! I do this a lot for folks in
Vintage and it's usually the real simple things that can turn a car around
from a pig to a nice enjoyable ride.
I hope I haven't come across too conceited, and if I have...... blame Bill
Babcock ;)
Cheers
Tony
