Slower is faster in most forms of racing. There are moments where there is no time to think and instinct kicks in. But if you have your mind set in the path you have emblazoned in your head that you are running that day. You know what the temps are and listen to the tires. Keep your logs of temps., pressures and every other COPD thing your body can conjurer up.

Drag, Auto-X and track days are all about data and learning! You start with a base-line. And strive to improve as you move on.
