All you have to do is listen to the instructors, and try to implement what they say, and you will improve. It's much easier to do at something like a novice school, as you get ~16 runs. A normal auto X day (with MAC) you get 6 runs, plus maybe one or two fun. Fun runs are timed, but not recorded (don't count for the competition). At some of the smaller days, like the Lacross one this weekend, since there are fewer cars (50-60ish, V.S. 130-160) you can get more runs. Last time in Eau Clare (60 cars) I got 13 runs, 8 timed, 5 fun. Managed to find the time knew I was leaving on the table during the fun runs. Ran over a second faster! Just wish I would have figured it out sooner.

Been there time and time again. Let's kick some ass in La Crosse this weekend.
