that's what she said ! sorry could not resist.

if i was to pin that above my sun visor and read it before each run i'd still forget most all of it. i try to take an instructor every few events and get ONE point from them in a real world situation. i learn more that way.

example- i had an instructor along in a course with a long slalom. i was on and off the gas at each cone trying to pick up speed that i would try to lose before the next. he stated that a better approach was to keep a constant speed through the thing instead of unsettling the car with the on & off the throttle action. him yelling that at me is burned into my mind. i don't care much for the guy as an instructor, but his info was sound.

come to think of it my pops had to yell at me to get things to "set" in my mind.
