Default GREAT site for those new to roadracing...

http://www.turnfast.com/tech_intro/intro.shtml

i am by no means a *seasoned* or *experienced* roadracer, but i think this site is one of the best internet guides in introducing the expensive and FUN sport of roadracing. i'm sure there are some itr owners out there who monthly contemplate taking that "plunge" into roadracing. i personally read almost the entire site before going to my first track event. of course, you'll wanna do the usual rounds with friends who've gone to the track before.

real basic reading. simple and to the point.

their site was actually down for about a year. i stumbled across it tonight and thought some itr guys might like the good read.

i don't know how to speed read
but most of the stuff is covered by the classroom instructor
its great for a first timer who is a bit nervous and doesn't know what to expect

how's that?

you should see "article list..." on the right hand side. it's a pull down menu. loads of pages of roadracing goodness.

wow thats an awesome site. I read a bunch of the articles, as I've still yet to do my first track event due to $$ and other reasons at this time. But I'm definitely looking forward to whenever I am able to do one, and that site seems like a good read for before hand.

That site has been offline for about 18 months

Glad to see they got it up and running again.
