nice!Feb 22 at Thunderhill raceway. Suck it bishes!
You'll have a great time.Wrong driving school. Thunderhill raceway, i get 1-on-1 teaching from an instructor (professional racer). 3-hours of in car and 3-hours of in class training. This will make me faster, oh yes, faster is good...
Track time is a ton of fun. My girlfriend is a driving instructor for the local Audi Club chapter. What do you drive?
None. It's driving school put on by Thunderhill. That being said, they do a TON of SCCA events there.Remember, track driving is no where near as violent as autoX. You must be fluid. You must first memorize your braking, turn in, and apex points, then insert speed. Smooth, smooth, smooth.....keep telling yourself that.
What club are you running with?

Sounds sick!And lastly, my car is a true momentum car. It has no pop, so the only way I will go fast is through momentum.
Hmmm... I like that idea, might try to sell that to my wife!Made a promise to the g/f. For every dollar I put into my car/bikes (ie fun stuff) I put $1 into savings and $1 into CC's. I think I'm also going to add my IRA into this as well. So... I'm not doing much for a little bit, as for every $1 I spend, $3 go into savings/debt.
This thread is awesome, thanks for keeping us in the loop.Heel-toe is beyond my current skill levels, it's something I want to work on, but I need to spend time on the skid pad at the track, as it is a safe place to practice.
Every Subaru owner needs to figure out double clutching if they ever want to get into first gear while moving.This thread is awesome, thanks for keeping us in the loop.
With regards to heel-toe and double-clutching, my friends give me ish about it to this day. About 5 or 6 years ago, the syncros started to wear out on my 3 cyl Geo Metro. In order to be able to downshift from third to second, I learned how to double-clutch and subsequently heel-toe. Not only is it fun to do, but it makes downshifting a hell of a lot smoother.

Haha, double clutching makes for a happy transmission, not limited to shifting into first at a slow roll.Every Subaru owner needs to figure out double clutching if they ever want to get into first gear while moving.
heh. my STi RA gearset cured that problem...Every Subaru owner needs to figure out double clutching if they ever want to get into first gear while moving.
OMFG. SO AWESOME.
... At one point an instructor told me to give it more gas to push the car harder through the corner, but I was 5th gear pinned. We got a good laugh out of that one.
...Being on the gas is a very good thing....
