Cummins driver,
Once you start getting quicker at the track, you think it is easy, however, when you start racing in competition that is a different story again. As it is more serious and you're competing towards winning, I find myself freezing during parts of qualifying because you don't want to crash. During the race if I am in front, for a couple of laps I don't feel comfortable I tend to freeze up again but then I talk myself into settling down.

Back to the actual thread, at my local track here in Japan there seems to be more buggies entering the races now. Late last year, the owner constructed a 1/10 electric course next to the 1/8 course and the majority of the 1/10 guys are now purchasing 1/8 buggies and racing with us and vice-versa. So it is pretty healthy here.
