I already nervous........

in a word. no.


you can read all ya want, watch all the videos. butt, until you start to do the things on the track - they won't really make sense.

as a first timer, the very basics tend to be info overload. generally, you can only incorparate the acedimic knowledge in building block style. however, with a weekend of instruction and plenty of verbal help from your pals, you can make great strides.

example, most beginners don't look in the rearview cause their so busy keeping the car on the track and trying to do ALL the things they think they should be doing RIGHT NOW.

don't worry it'll all fall into place over time.

lisa, let me quote something from the book on this subject.

"if anyone ever tells you they never have any fear in a race car, they either are lying or are driving nowhere near the limit. there's not a successful driver in the world who doesn't scare themselves every now and then. fear - or selfpresertvation - is the only thing that stops you from crashing every corner. if it's the kind of fear that makes you panic and freeze up, then that's not good. but if it's the kind that makes the adrenaline flow, your sense sharpen, and makes you realize if you go another tenth of a mile per hour faster you'll crash, then that's good."


also,
"usually, you are going much too fast to be scared at the moment. however, there are times when i realize after a corner just how close i was to crashing - and there's a little fear there, knowing i came oh-so-close to losing it. that usually means i was at or a little beyond the limit."

hope this helps


btw, i can atest to this more than once.
