Eh, last year was a little bit of a disappointment for me, I had my incident, and I really didn't feel like I progressed much compared to the year before.

I am going to commit to myself to leave my ego and pride at the door this upcoming season, and make myself BETTER.

It's easier to set it aside when you totally have no idea what you are doing, once you get a taste of what you think you can do, that makes it much tougher.

I've been working on my downshifting technique as well. The great thing is that it is the same technique I use for changing channels on the remote, so it has multiple applications.

Anybody seen any dates yet for just the north or south course at Autobahn for next year yet? I'd like to practice both sections individually before combining them.

i dont think ive ever seen the north course run by itself by an outside group. It seems mostly they rent the south side out and leave the north side open for members.

In the HPDE groups, yes. Bt they also do a great job of providin instructors as well. Don't know if the groups you run with do that.

They also run Time Trials and race groups in the same place on the same weekend so you get some good exposure to that atmosphere and some really good contact and experience meeting and talking to those guys if you want to pursue it.
