well I've had two more events since this one. I'm improving steadily. Second event I managed 12th of 14, and last weekend I was 10th of 15. I was working on getting closer to the cones and to keeping in the throttle longer approaching turns. I had better tires this time around, too. Learned a bit more about the limits of the car, a bit about air pressure (needs less all around and less in the rear than the front), and seemed a bit smoother.

Also have a decent set of wheels, and some dedicated tires on order.

But now I'm jonesing and I can't do it again until at least February

Thinking about driving school in the spring.

Oh crap, what have I gotten myself into
