We were both STS class.
I'm not too worried at all 
Glad you had fun. It is a blast isn't it... 
The best advice I can give you is to be smooth! Smooth & steady beats fast & powerful 9 out of 10 times.[/b]A Spec V should have been in STX. In any case, this guy did really well. And you know what they say about the driver... Hmmm. Maybe I was driving the one you beat.
I don't know if smooth is my problem. Well, that's part of it. Anyway, people talk about going slow to go fast, but I just seem to go slow. Like I'm too tentative. I mean, 3 events and not one cone? Something tells me I'm far from the limit.
It's also very difficult to evaluate from inside the car. I mean, when I'm working the course, or watching, I can recognize when somebody is "on," but from inside the car, I have no idea. Shifty's tape should help. Learning in progress, here.
Hmmm. Hey Demon, any chance you'd wanna come to Kansas and coach me?
