I will be starting at Ground Zero with my car, but I can see my learning curve accelerate if I am anywhere near you, and your Crew.
Do you ever take other people's cars out to feel them out and give feedback ?
And I can see that this could get costly, with parts, tires, gear, maintinence.
But I will be watching the BlueBalz video a few times today..
Great driving...You need a Bugatti to be the chase vehicle if you hope to film Mary racing...  |
Yes, we do help with chassis and driver development as its fun and both the owner/driver and the two of us learn from it. If you have a solid car to begin with, your main expense will be tires. Autocrossing is so much gentler on cars than people think it is and you can autocross a year on what it would cost to just get through a practice and qualifying session for one race.
I usually ride with people or have them ride with me and just watch one or two things, then I might drive their cars before offering advice. One or two things can make a huge difference between a car that has "holes" and one that's confirmed for its job.
Small things, too. Steering wheel hand position, seating position, even size and feel of the steering wheel can make a slight difference in your autocross times.
We can talk more at an event.
