Default Track Junky

Yes wheel time in the car is what makes
us faster and more confident. I can jump
in the Pantera and run any track as it has
been the same for about 6 years (except the
200 tires I had to put on it for Optima)

My firebird has been down for many years and
before I could drive the wheels off that car
I have changed so many things it is hard to
get used to it (plus I am still changing things-
new springs just showed up today)

Get it set and then start relearning the car
I told one of my buddies that just started out
it takes time but eventually you and the car
become one.. that is what we strive for

I think our problem now is we have so many things
we can adjust that it takes a while to figure out
what works and what does not

Back in the day I drove my firebird with springs too
soft the ball joints almost falling off but boy could
I drive that car

Keep at it as the track times are the best
My Pantera buddy use to say "its all about Racing
everything else is just waiting" I think he stole
that saying from Steve Mcqueen

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
