Maybe you were too tight on the bars. I used to go through turn 7 at Beaverun with my arms real tense and tight. I think the reason I was so tense and tight was because I was afraid of low-siding. Turn 7 is real bumpy from the cars that run there. It's really bad if you get out of an ideal line. One time I felt the front slide and that made me go back and think about what I could have been doing wrong. After that I went back out and just relaxed my entire body as much as I could and never felt that front-end sliding feeling again, unless I was going 110%. Just a thought...... Hope you figure it out man. I hate it when I have problems and can't seem to find a solution.

Apache; Fossil has given you some excellent advice but there is one truth that you and I know that he doesn't: ...He doesn't know how much he will love riding Mid Ohio. Rainman Haha! Yeah that's true. Next to VIR, Mid-Ohio is the best IMO. As far as the different levels, I want a program that will help me become the best racer I can be. Not just a better street rider. I have completely dedicated my life to racing and am absolutely cut throat dead serious about it. Naive? Yes I know, but what do you expect from a 20 y/o? I'm just tired of trying to learn and figure everything out on my own. I need a coach who is also dead serious, not just a "control rider" as you stated Fossil. I need a drill sergeant breathing down my neck critiquing every little detail of my riding and giving me hell if I don't improve. Is that too much to ask for? Would level 1 be too basic? Do I have to start at level 1? I would like to go to Laguna, but I don't want to travel across the country to just cruise around the track and learn about blipping downshifts all over again.

Hi there from Mid-Ohio! I hope it's ok to hang out in the forum even though I haven't taken a CSS class yet. Although I've read TOTW 2! I've been thinking of doing the one at Mid-Ohio sometime..... Whenever I get enough cash This might be a stupid question, and I hope it's not taken the wrong way but, are the classes really worth it? I've done some novice level track day classes and they were nice, but I need some instruction that is a step or two above that. I'm currently a novice level club racer about to be bumped up to expert. I've hit a serious rut in my riding and it seems like I cannot improve any. Actually, I'm getting slower and it's costing me a regional championship. But anyways... Hi!
