[Fot] Learning new tracks

[Ponostyle]

Since I’m preparing to sell Peyote I’ve been digging though the old website I built for it (peyote race.com) and my personal blog. In the process I found this post that I wrote just prior to the “All Aluminum Tour" in 2007. I was a bit surprised how detailed and potentially useful it is. In fact, I wish I’d read it (and shared it) before the race at PIR. Even though I’ve been on track at PIR countless times, it’s been long enough that I wasn’t managing some of the turns as well as I should have. I was two seconds down from my personal record with Peyote all weekend. PIR is a technical track, because it’s easy to learn how to get around on it fairly fast, which makes extracting a few seconds a study in details rather than simply driving mechanically. Anyway, here’s the article, there’s a detailed analysis of PIR that any of you folks that attended the Kastner Cup will probably find familiar. Too late for the Kastner Cup, but you might find it useful.
