3 things1. to go fast, you have to take it slow (or something like that, its been a while since i've heard the saying myself)2. if you're screeching your tires like crazy, you're prolly going slow3. have FUN

i guess a fourth pointer would be to talk to all the people there. everyone's there to have fun and they can tell you everything you needa know to improve your time. i.e. inflating your tires and using the chalk, what mods you can do that will keep you in that class, and how to take certain lines.

but have fun :)
