Got questions? I’ve got answers. This is where I post answers to the many questions I receive. You may find the answer to a question you have here (you can use the “Search” tool), but if not, you have two options:
- If you want the answer immediately, sign up for my SpeedSecrets.ai app (think of it as “Google on steroids, focused solely on performance/race driving,” or “ChatGPT trained to only pull from the 5 million+ words and content I’ve personally created”)
- If you can wait until I get to your question, email it to me.
Q: How do I adapt my driving from a solid-axle car to one with independent rear suspension?
Q: How can I get in the zone more often when driving on track?
Q: Which is better, coasting or braking when entering fast corners?
Q: What contributes to a driver having confidence in a car, and what can I do to feel better about it?
Q: What tire pressures should I run, and how do I adjust them as conditions change throughout a day at the track?
Q: As a novice performance track driver, when is it advantageous to start going to more tracks?
Q: What do you mean by rotating the car, and how do I know when I get it right?
Q: Tell me what I should do if my car loses its brakes completely.
Q: Why would my car understeer more when my front anti-roll bar becomes disconnected?
Q: Is it better to have understeer or oversteer when I enter a corner too fast?
Q: “If I can adjust it at all when clearly going too fast, what’s the optimum to aim for – front slip or rear slip, what’s best to recover from?”
