I guess that isn't a bad idea. Nothing worse then getting rejected trying to hit second or third and getting that loud grinding noise while unprepared.
I get nervous racing, even at the track, my stomach gets all upset. I have no idea why, I have never wrecked or anything....

Still happens to me after 5 years of racing. Even when it's just a time trial, although not as bad as eliminations. I usually have to calm myself down before I stage or I will redlight everytime.Quote:
