attend hpde event as a beginner as much as you can and listen to the instructor . Seat time is the best thing for you , so auto cross may not help as much as hpde beacuse most autocross are 1 min sessions and hpde are usually 25 min sessions all day events . I learned alot my first day and realized I knew nothing about driving . I alos learned over driving the car will slow you down . Good luck

 

Thanks for the advice...everybody. I ordered Speed Secrets yesterday and am going autocrossing tomorrow...don't have a cowbell, yet, but I do have Blue Oyster Cult on my 8 track (...Romeo and Juliet, live together in eternity...)

 

Make sure to get stainless hardware and keep the bearings greased. Nothing worse than a seized cowbell.

 

grade 8 or better.

 

Too likely to statter rather than bend. I prefer pot metal.

 

High quality blinker fluid also key when running alot of cowbell. The vibrations can upset visibility (key when cornering in nighttime autoX's)

...sorry I couldn't resist

 

See video for cowbell explanation:

advice from a pro!!

 

Impressive! Most people on this forum only read at a 4th grade level.

 

If that's the case, I don't even want to know what grade level people on this forum post at
