Thanks for the responses so far...
so to continue this conversation....
If you were tasked with coaching someone new to LSR and the goal was somewhere over 200mph, and they had some experience or skill but not necessarily in LSR, what would you say? What's the most important thing(s)? What's the best approach? What are the prerequisites?
TIA

PS: Just in case you're wondering, I guess I'm not really going anywhere specific with this other then the fact that we're getting more & more new racers with high expectations and I often find myself in a position to be guiding newer people. So the thoughts & opinions of the collective are often helpful. We're having more & more bikes down & cars spinning and I'd like to see us all do what we can to help everyone be safe out there!
I know I personally learned a few things from my wreck. Some I've already passed on to some going faster then me that have helped them be safer and faster. Some things I've learned are geared more to the newer & will be shared when appropriate. I know there are many out there that don't/won't share because they don't want to help someone be faster then them. Fortunately / unfortunately I'm not one of them. I'd much rather you be faster then me & safe then know I could have helped you be safe & didn't.
