RE: Official track-building thread
Don't quite understand what you mean? Track racing is just racing. As far as tips all I can tell you is to find the groove and stay in it. What kind of car are you running? Buggy, monster? There are a lot of things to think about when you start racing, one of the best things you can do is find a track near you that races the type of car you have and go watch what is going on. Talk to the racers there, ask what kind of tires (sorry, tyres) they are running. Ask about setup on the car, shock oils, diff oils, gearing.... It is always a good idea to pick out a car that is running fast and watch the way it is driven. Also very important is to LISTEN to the car, the throttle is not an on/off switch. A major part of steering the car around a corner fast is throttle control.
Alot of tracks will also have a beginner program, we do, if it is your first time to race we will pair you up with one of the track "veterans" . He will show you how to get your car ready, check the heats to find out when you race, help you with pitting your car, show you how and when you have to corner marshall.... things like that. One thing you will never find a shortage of is advice at the track, everyone has their own ideas about everything and theirs is allways the best.
But most of all don't be shy, ask questions and talk to people. Once you start racing it becomes an addiction.
Good Luck
