[QUOTE="Relaxed Chaos, post: 16327383, member: 64993"] I recommend 3 things. First, on your first few HPDE's or parking lot competitions just take it easy and have fun in your car as is. Get to know your car and it's limits. Deliberate and slow inputs are required. Try going as fast as you can while avoiding using your brakes, then add additional speed and applying the brakes as you improve. Needed upgrades will be very obvious to you once you are able to push your car to it's limits. Second, tires or brake pads will likely be the first thing you hit limits on during HPDE's. Get a good high temp pad. I like CarboTech because you can run their street pad everyday and swap out to a track pad on the same rotors on fun day without bedding in. Third, get to know the sounds of your tires at the limits. Squeaking tires are good, while howling tires mean you've exceeded their available grip. In between these two sounds is where you want to watch yourself (and have the most fun).
