Re: 2010 Bench Racer's League

AutoX for me and any other kind or turning wheel stuff, well actually all of it is just so I can become a better driver and learn more about my car.

I know for drag racing I learned a lot about launching the car strip vs. street, shift points, etc.

From everyone that has done auto-x, road courses, they seem to all say the same thing that the first mod is the driver then the car and actually I have noticed a lot of people get into racing for a bit, then once they are experienced get a car that is more competitive.
Looks like i need to drive before i build the Z.

I might have to get that! I've had this one by Vic Elford (porsche factory driver) for about 10 years, fantastic read.
