Very good info. The most important item is consistency - lose consistency, lose the game.

You can never practice enough.
Watch others.

And lastly, I disagree with his statement "Know the time the competition is running."
I say: Focus on yourself, don't worry about the other person. No need to add any more items to the recipe.

I agree, It doesn't matter one bit what the other guy runs. If you can cut a light and run your number every time you will be taking home the money. :mrgreen:

I forgot I was still on that first link, I did pretty good in the Northeast Corvette Challenge series before I got rid of my C5.

They still have the article up from when "Jungle Pam" Hardy drove my car for a match race...

the only reason to know what the other guy is running for time is to know who is chasing who - other than that forget it.

Don't care, focus on yourself.
Don't bring in other info into the formula.
