Go to Bondurant Racing School in AZ, or Skip Barber in CA, or SOMEHOW find a local racing school that will teach you what you need to know. These cars aren't built to 1/4 mile. They were built to rally, and to road race. I know you poor bastards in the middle of the country don't have it as good as we do on the coasts, but I'm telling you, get yourself an education, and keep that car from falling apart at the same time. When you're flying around a corner at 80mph nailing the apex to the wall, there is no greater feeling in the world. Trust me.
