Whooohoo, what a day

[986 Girl]

I have recently found that if I can get a ride with someone before I go out to do my first run, I do a lot better. One of the more experienced guys that comes out to all of the events (and chooses the morning of the event which car he wants to drive, Evo, Elise or Z06), has taken me under his wing and always lets me ride with him when our groups are aligned correctly. Getting out there and feeling someone else really push it helps get my adreneline going and gets me to push it harder when I first go out.

My biggest suggestion is GET RIDES WITH PEOPLE!!

yap, that's what my instructor did, kinda...He first let me drive my car with him so He could see on how do I react on before and after turns- then after that first run, he drove and Im the passenger...he show me how it's done, how safe it is and he helps me build my confidence

after that, while waiting for my first time driving solo, he gave me pointers between our drive

and that's is so true, 986girl...I would suggest riding shotgun with the instructor if it's your first time...I left my pride and ego at the gate
