    There was a duke there, bit too much background noise to hear the spag bowl clutch !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Nearly all men can stand adversity and hard time, but if you want to test a mans true character, give him power....

    The Book Im Reading.....

    ...says keep the throttle steady and stay on the gas! this book also talks about the need to overcome your natural SR's survival reactions.
    Those videos are so cool and i drop my hat to all those guys they are all true gods of the sport.

    Seriously ive only had 2 near highsides both at Manfield one on a damp track coming out of higgins and one on an oil patch coming out of toyota, lets face it, your either flying over the windscreen or yourve somehow recovered even before you know whats happened, be amazing to have the reflex and conditioned reaction to actually be able to deal with it at the time.

    Cheers.

    Actually I don't think it's that big a deal mate. If you're winding on the gas smoothly you'll probably have saved it before you react. Works for me

    The excercise where you are very precice about your throttle movements really helped me overcome the "snap the throttle shut" reaction. Really helps me sling-shot out of turn 1 at Taupo too as I just keep winding on smoothly from the apex with no fear of the back stepping out.

    This is 100% correct my ginger friend! I know in the short time I have been racing my reactions have improved enormously....and by that I mean I react immediately by 'not reacting!' This has saved my skin on a number of occasions. Its not so much skill as it is 'mental fortitude' in my experience. I had a big moment at Taupo around the left hand sweeper (turn 8) at about 190kph where both wheels were sliding towards the outside of the track while my left knee was still on the deck...I remember thinking...."don't touch anything....don't change a thing" and I managed to ride it out.....farking scary!
