Default Video from the BMWCCA Autox 5/14/06

I broke in my new 225/50/15 v710s today by taking FTD at the BMWCCA event. Peter Varga was the next fastest driver, ~1.5 seconds behind, in his ESP Mustang. I must thank Keith, Jamal, and Danny for not being there to kick my ass.

I liked having my worker assignment as instructor. That was fun and much more rewarding than chasing cones!

How much are you charging for those instructor runs?
(Do you get hazardous duty pay?)

Next time when you are around I def would like to have you in the car with me.

I was very happy with my 1:09.5

Good course, I <3'd the curved solomns!!!

Watching the vids from you, Jamal and Keith have me even more convinced that I need a better steering rack for my car. Quaife makes one that will help lessen the amount of turning of the steering wheel I will have to do with my car. Just need to research it to make sure it will fit my year and model.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

It's a lot cheaper to practice that steering technique we discussed. Did you also use the throttle to help steer, as the Evo instructors taught you?
