There is now *years* worth of information on the site, plus a forum where members get into deep analysis of runs and strategy. When I first got involved on the site, I had a chance to read for a few weeks, discuss certain situations on the forum, and at the first national event of the year, I used something specifically from the site to win the final round -- a difference of several thousand dollars. (not to mention all of the other important rounds where specific knowledge made a crucial difference) $119 doesn't look so bad at that point! It's not just Luke, either. There are a large number of guest instructors who have shared their knowledge and experience as well.

You spend money on your car to improve its performance and consistency. Invest a little in the driver.

I drive - in Michigan!
My wife was worried about me drag racing - my response was 'Are you kidding? It's a LOT safer than driving on the street - there's only one other car to worry about!'

Do the three month trial once a year for $45 bucks and get caught up!

On the TIBR deal. I think its worth the money and you can learn alot from it. At first I got the three month deal and tried to read all of it in just a few weeks. All that did was mess me up and put too many ideas in my head at the same time. Now I try and read a little every month and that way I dont overload my brain with too many new ideas all at once.

If you are looking for a good way to use your practice tree to stay sharp take a look at the Biondios site under Racing Tips and FAQ then look for the one about practice trees. Its helped me a bunch.

Drink heavily, shovel snow. Repeat until spring.

I play this game:

It doesn't relate to closely to real racing, but it's free (unless you want to buy a membership) and a good time killer when there's a foot of snow outside.
