Right hand turns vrs Left hand turns
I think I take a Right turn faster "more confidently" ,than a left hand turn.Is this because the drivers seat coming off the ground rather than being more of a planted feeling? Anyone else experiance this, and if so whats a cure besides growing bigger cahoneses.

Most of the tracks run clockwise so the majority of the turns are to the right. Thats probably why you're more comfortable and "faster".

Interesting, I take lefts faster and thought it was because if I hit the wall with the left side it would hurt more than if I hit with the right.

Check the cross weights on your car, maybe you have too much wedge, or is it too much anti-wedge?

I learned on a number of counter clockwise tracks in the west, but don't think I notice any difference. If it is about what is happening to the position of your seat, it is time for a new suspension!

I have to laugh at my self on that one. I think Lemming unknowingly helped me come up with my own solution with a wedge up the drivers rear.LOL:
