I posted this up during last years TASCAR, it still applies today Smile

I'm sure we all know what we are doing this time around, but just to be clear..

Okay, after the complete DISASTER of tonights racing, here are a few tips so we can stay green...

-on a rolling start or restart, make sure you are 50ft or more behind the car infront
-keep idle chat to a minimum, keep it strictly to ''Inside'', ''Outside'', ''Low'', ''High'', ''left'', ''right'' and ''Clear'' for when you fall behind them (if you do)
-ALWAYS worry about drivers that are along side you, never cars that are behind you. You are not the only car on the racetrack GIVE THEM ROOM! This is vital for staying under green conditions.
-If your car understeers, LIFT OFF THE THROTTLE! Dont hit the wall and cause a wreck! Especialy at places like Sedona, lifting while side by side with someone actualy HELPS you get by them, you lose no speed, you simply get to turn a little tighter.
-SLOWLY ease down to the saftey car speed, DONT brake all of a sudden, and if you need to, get out of the way! Use the apron for gods sake!

I hope this helps.
