I have Azenis, fun tires. I don't think there are any driving schools around here, unless I want to drive 4 or 5 hours which I don't. My current suspension is totally stock except bushings, I at least want some koni yellows on stock springs, I think the rear shocks are original. :eek4: I wish the car didn't understeer so much, next time I'll probably pump the rears up even more. I'm in SM2, NER SCCA in Ayer, MA.

This guy with an SM EG who won nationals rode with me and gave me some tips, helped a lot, told me I was turning in too fast which cut the wheels out from under the car, I turned smoother and slower and found more grip, also looking ahead even more than I was helped a bunch. On my last run I know I could have found another second. Unlike the second to last run, my fastest, I forgot to look ahead enough and I messed up in a couple corners which cost me, so I was like a tenth slower than the 75.526 run even though I ran most of it faster. I ran the fastest run pretty well but not as hard as I could've because I was still trying to apply the new advice. He said I was a pretty good driver. One other problem I think I have is I don't always know exactly the best line to take, I just try to turn as little as possible and cut close to the cones. I think I can get within a foot or maybe a little less pretty consistently depending on the corner.
