and

> I encourage everyone to try this at least once. It's fun, fast, safe and

the
> track layout and local procedures. Avoid the burnout box at first,
> especially/always with street tires, and launch from the starting line as

> doing the same thing on the street. When you want to improve your
> technique, identify someone there who appears to be a knowledgeable racer
> (not a ricer ;-)) and ask for advice. Most will be happy to help you.
