Default Re: New girl to racing needs advice from experienced racers

JaneBridges,

Excellent! I will definitely be giving Porterfield a call on those lines later this year. At this point, it looks like I may not get to the track until October or November... *SIGH*

My biggest problem with the Z06 guys in the NASA events I run (HPDE 1 & 2 on road courses) is the fact that they mash the gas on the straights but are very timid in the turns. Almost as if they are afraid to hurt their 'baby'. It's usually taken care of after the first two sessions at most. The head instructor usually tells them "If you see a car on you through all the turns, let them pass in the passing zones, I don't care how much horsepower you have."

Keep stayin' sexy and fast in your Crossfire!
