What do you do in the off season to stay sharp

HR9121 · 01-03-2013, 12:57 PM

Well I've been racing a car with a delay box the last few years so I would flip the tv channels with the remote to keep my thumb in shape. Some times if I wanted to get real crazy I would practice taking the stripe on the highway but this works much better on a 4 lane so you have to be careful on two lane roads. I'm building a stocker over the winter so I look foward to hearing ideas to get my brake foot in shape.

Try to hit some big money bracket races or any bracket races. I prefer 1/4 mile racing, but 1/8 mile racing makes you sharper because you don't have as much time to make finish line decisions. As Michael said, Thisisbracketracing.com has some really good information.

Treessavoy,
your doing it all wrong, your suppose to let them chase you
(but slow down just enough so they can catch you).
