I'm bummed turn 11 is gone. Did you guys get to look at the new section at all?

Thanks for all the compliments. They key to every corner, braking zone, etc. is vision. Where are your eyes are looking is key. Just like WRC drivers listening to their co-driver, you brain needs the best picture it can have of the next 2-5 seconds so it can do it's physics magic. The WRC drivers have to visualize what is coming since it is coming so fast around blind corners. If you can keep your eyes scanning ahead at least 2 elements at the track/autocross, it will help a ton. Even if you can't see that element yet, looking where it will be allows the brain to build the picture inch by inch as you move down the track.

I spend about 90% of my time as a driver, and instructor working on vision because if you get that right, the other stuff is easy.

Sorry I wasn't there, but I have some philisophical issues with the event, and decided not to be involved due to those.

There are upcoming Audi events at Thunderhill(January), Laguna(February), and Pahrump(April we think)

Also probably going down to hooked on driving, Volvo and SCCA events at Thunderhill 12/8-11.
