Keep at it CR! Practice, practice, practice those corners at speed. I suggest finding a new housing subdivision somewhere that doesn't have heavy traffic (watch for nails & other builders' debris). Get up to speed and practice holding your line and accelerating out of the corners. Better yet, get a few guys/gals to do it with you, so you can get comfortable in a "pack".

Keep racing too...that's really the best training. Nothing compares to the intensity and adrenaline kick you get from it.

Happy racin'
