[QUOTE="kevin, post: 32858, member: 1123"] dean - self improvement is a good thing. i was refering more to the idea of "don't get passed" syndrome. i've been at open track events were passing in the corners and brake zones is ok. and some attitudes don't want to get passed and i've been dangerously cutoff. just this year i was on the inside of one of these individuals in a braking zone, litterally my front wheel even with his back wheel, and he veered left into me. fortunatly, by experience, you're always watching the guy and i have very strong brakes (as do we all in the 00r). after the run was over, i went to the guy and asked him if he realized what he had done, he said he never saw me behind him. bs, he knew i was there and for three laps continued to intentionally block me. in a race you expect this and do it yourself (safely) to your own advantage. this was not a race. there are a lot of things going on at speed, and checking your 6 is one that should be done often as safely possible. this is just good sa (situational awarness). i tend to run in the faster and (hopefully) more experienced groups. this usually reduces the risk for me. i'm truely looking forward to seeing everyone drive on the track. and again, rides are available and i will follow folks (at their request) to tell 'em what i see from a different perspective (i even learn from this process). your squirrly attitude (car position that is) may be from downshifting while the engine revs are still to high. this causes a tremendous unbalane to the front and unweights the back. when that happens your rear will dance on ya. one thing i find usefull is to brake hard and then downshift and then back on the brake or throttle as required. being smoothe is a big key. hope this helps. kevin.#22,#41,#80 [/QUOTE]
