track days so you are confortable at speed and trust what your taught.
AT JENNINGS when you first get worried about entering a corner too fast you just have to trust the teaching you have, LOOK THROUGH THE CORNER!!!... if you come in a LITTLE (nothing is going to save you if your riding completely out of control) hot dont panic...pin your head on the shoulder your in the direction your going (EX:going left: chin on left shoulder) roll off the gas you'll scrub off some speed and make the corner 90% of the time maybe not on the best line...running wide is ok (not off the track)until you get confidence to run it in that fast knowing its going to stick then you realize you can go faster.
turn 8 at jennings takes out more riders then any other (including me) if you can feel confortable going fast around turn 8 the rest are a breeze...and makes patterson road feel like a walk in the park........
