I agree that most of us don't get enough track
time running 3-4 events a year. My viper buddy runs once
or twice a month

I also want to point out budget does dictate some of
the decisions on what we run. My Pantera is mostly set
For me. My firebird is another story. I put some brakes on
the car but needed bigger wheels and better tires before
the brakes could be finished. 4k for wheels 1500 for tires
Now I can do the better brakes. But I could also use some
better shocks. One of the Jri shocks is more than my current
Vikings. Also just spent 1600 on Pantera tires

I elect to keep the car running and slowly improve it
I am also figuring out how to drive the car the best way I
can. Every time I change things it gets better but far from
done. Years ago a new set of tires is what made it better and
we just drove it Bad handling or not and learned how to drive it faster
Change is good but sometimes seat time for now I think is
better

I have been tracking for the last 10-11 years and just started
to do more Autocrossing. For me it is a lot harder to Autocross
than go run a track Don't get me wrong I love tracking but I think
Autocrossing gives you less error and to me more feedback on
how the car is doing
As we say on my Pantera forum Flamesuit on
