Some advice for my new autox buddies: Ride with people who are faster than you. Pay attention to what they are doing. Look at how they steer, pay attention to the braking, anticipate the early acceleration, and watch where they are looking.

Something else to keep in mind, that the learning never stops. A lot of the people there getting instruction are the fast people. Besides setting up my car to go fast, my Co-driver Elliot is providing valuable instruction on how to improve as a driver. Before Elliot became my co-driver, I was tapping into Clint's driving knowledge. If you are interested, I can hook people up with some good drivers. Btw, Clint will give Elliot feedback and Elliot will give Clint feedback when they ride together. It is basically drawing on the knowledge base, and Arizona has more than its fair share of national level drivers (probably because we get so much good autox weather), so the knowledge base is deep.
