^ I like this one so much! ^
Der Professor advices are impressive.
And thanks for the info, as I'll be racing racing for the first time this weekend at Calabogie. I was under the impression that I had to leave lotsa space between cars, so I'll revise the whole thing!
Any other tips for a first timer (sorry if I highjack the thread...).

Just remember all the mental effort you give to race craft is metal effort not focused on staying on track. The last thing a rookie wants to (or anyone else) is to be so focuesd on "racing" that you forget about basic driving the throw it off track.
Herr Proffessor has done enough track days and racing that just driving take maybe 25% of his focus. That leave 70% to think about race craft and 5% to think where he going to get dinner after the race.
