Default First tech topic?

Ok, now taking suggestions for a tech article, so what'll it be? Fundamental Driving lines? Basic Chassis theory? I'm open for about anything, and in about a week from now I'll have plenty of time to write and make illustrations to go along with it.

Sure, the one I have to make the most pics for haha, that was the one I thought I'd start with, I'll get started once my car is done and I'm moved back on campus with nothing else going on.

cool racing tech terms like polar moment of inertia, unsprung weight, rotational intertia, etc.

Hmm... that may be a more appropriate starting topic...

Yes I think the first tech article should just be something basic for people who have never done it before. Maybe about different autocross classes, basic rules, starting out, etc.
