Went out on a big track for some spirtited driving over the weekend. I
was humbled as the competition crushed me for lap times. What I'm
curious about is how does one take autoX experience to a fast pace
track? I noticed that my autocrossing skills did not like speeds that
required huge amounts of drift. Large amounts of drift on the autoX
course always means added cones. I noticed that most of the time I was
able to point myself at the next apex instead of pushing towards it.
For those of you that do roadrace can you pass on words of wisdom that
will allow me to perform better for the next future track day? The bang
for your buck is more with track day, but I love the quick action of the
autoX more. I kept finding myself needing to wait for that turn-in
instead of that boom - boom - boom of steering wheel input from a nice
autoX course. The idea of going off track at 90+ mph is not something I
look forward to.
