If you are there just to rip around the track and have fun and not really paying any attention to what it is you are doing or what others are doing then you will not learn a thing and just piss people off because you are making a mess of the track and wasting time. > > With that said open lapping will only take you so far. Once you get a good learning curve and get the hang of drifting you are going to want get into doing some competition. It is a lot of fun and it will push you harder to learn new things. > > As an example: Jesse and I have been driving together for years. Jesse is more of a loose cannon, he likes to push the extreme mainly on stupid early entries. I am a more technical driver, setting up for clipping points finding lines to maintain speed ect… In the past seasons Jesse has been rocking everyone including me. As a result I have been pushed to let loose on the technical aspect and push the envelope a little further. After I did that I was able to find a good balance between the two and beat Jesse. > > I am looking forward to competing in DMCC next year so I can learn more from other drivers. I still have a lot to learn. > > Well…with all that being said (sorry for the long post) I say maybe there should be 1-2 per /mnth open days with instructors available and one competition a month. > > This will create 2 environments to learn from and I believe driving skills will excel greatly from it. > > It would just be fun to watch the skill level rise through the season.
