8. Do a Viper Days and as many Open track events as necessary to keep your eyes, hands and feet connected to your brain and car seat, After a few schools you will know what I mean,
I suggest to contract with a Skip Barber instructor to ride with you at track events. They will help you take seconds from your lap times. Ask the instructors from the classes you take to ride with you. If they say NO? Keep on taking Car Control Clinics and Lapping Days until one says yes. They will not ride with you if you have demonstrated a lack of performance driving ability.
Brake in a straight line, add power when the wheels are pointed straight. Roll into the throttle, stomping the throttle will upset the car, your passenger, and the cops. None of these things are good!
To go fast on a track, knowing how to drive a stock Viper is more important than having more HP.
Good Luck and keep the rubber on the road and wheels pointed where you want to go.
