I see you have posted some 1/4 mile times and while they are impressive they do not transfer to the road course.
Finally you will not learn anything from internet instruction
you need somebody IN THE CAR with you.
Good luck.

+100
I remember my 2cd day out with an instructor like it was yesterday. Going from one turn to another there was a pretty good "dip" in the track right in the braking zone,but I was sooooooooo sssssssllllllllllllooooooooooowwwwwwwwww it didn't really affect me or the car.
The second day out,I was getting quicker and went thru the "dip" and as I came out under braking, the rear end got light and the rear brakes locked up. We had in-car comunications and the instrucdtor saw I was kinda "spooked" as the car had not done that before. I said to him WFT just happened,he said since I had picked up quite a bit of speed in that section, the dip now became a problem,so I said, WFT do I do now to get thru it safely, so he told me how to alter my line a little and change up my braking a little and before I knew it, I was flying thru that spot with no problems........
This is what an instructor can do for you as well as coach you thru your bad/wrong driving habits, which I had my share also......

I'm all for it,would sure be nice to see you'll again.......
+100 on the drag/road racing too....at the track down here, there is also a drag strip....I'd guess at least half the drivers are former drag racers and once they did some open track days, they swore they would never go back to drag racing again.....I've done both and the seat time,fun factor just doesn't compare......

Tru dat...I was a drag racer most of my life until Herr Crankster pulled me over to The Dark Side in the 90s.....now I wonder why I ever wasted my time...sit in the pits for 3 hours just to make a 12 sec 1/4 mile run versus running a 3+ mile road course for an hour at a time?!?!?!?
No contest!
