Before this thread gets completely derailed ... it was mentioned but never directly asked:

zix07 ... how much track experience do you have, and why do you feel the need to make your car more aggressive?

AMEN!! Best suggestion so far John.

I see guys poor thousands into the car but won't spend $100 on the most complicated part of going fast safely....the driver.

Safety equipment is never a bad thing unless it is installed incorrectly...then it is worthless.

His seminars are great along with his three books. Worth every penny.

School, seminars, books and instruction with seat time.

When your at an HPDE event, around here, we have to do a course walk as part of class instruction. I always ask the instructor what visuals of the course is he looking at when driving it. Be amazed at what you see and don't.
