aw dont tell me i missed registration for ANOTHER event!!
i just emailed Naoki, begging her to email me back if there are still any spots so i can send a check tomarrow (paypal doesnt work with my bank for some reason), and hopefully get a spot.
anyway, for mental prep before an event i do almost the same as dousan. watch some drifting the night before (NOT INITIAL D!!!) and just get enough sleep so i will be alert but not groggy (6 hours is perfect for me), and just clear my mind at the track before i run. think of the line, trace with my eyes where i want to bee, then do it. *feint here, e-brake there, throttle throttle, clutch kick...* just try different techniques and variations until i get it down. and make sure you have some breakfast since it will be a while before you eat again, that is if you dont get too excited and forget to eat lunch all together! drink plenty of water all day and stay out of the sun. rest yourself and car every 6-8 runs or so.
i have only been to 2 events so far so im no expert, but i think i have learned a whole heck of a lot at just those 2 events.
good luck to you all out there, and HOPEFULLY i can get a spot and be out there with you!
btw, anyone got any stock calipers for a 1990 s13 non ABS? all 4. a friend of mine got hers screwed up and needs replacements. see post "WTB: all 4 stock calipers for s13" thanks.
