th day practice

[kaw]

how about 2 hours practice before the five runs that will be used for the finale times,some were faster in the afternoon runs when we started to get it right.what does every one think

[Bonnie and Clyde]

I agree, Rick you need all the help you can get xxxxx

[Magic919]

Wasn't it the tuning that made your car faster?

Good idea that, for ppl who its the 1st time going and even those who went last time a refresher would be good before actually trying to do timed runs, could not have a free session for 30-45mins first thing in the morning then do the 5 runs that they timed ppl on for the results?

Think I only did 2 out of the 5 as was a bit confused as to what was going on!

Only thing you need to practise is your launch and as the track is quite rough/grippy its easyish to get off the line - a lot easier than shakeys or the pod. My runs in the morning were better than the afternoon - I think down to adrenalin and concentration. The gung-ho/drive it like you stole it attitude doesn't yield any better results either...
Maybe a little practise time, but can't see much real benefit in waiting long for the "real" runs, and once you've got a benchmarch it becomes addictive to beat your previous so you might aswell do this straight away?
Just my opinion though......

[kaw]

getting the next tweak in morning, and may be another before TH DAY ,AND YES ITS A SLOWER CAR THAN YOURS hi its jayne you better watch out because the 500 is going to have you.

[crisisjez]

As its the best of your 5 runs that counts you will have the other 4 to practice on
