Thaller, last year was my first time racing. I was a bit angsty the first night. I failed to hit the NASTAR course previous o race night...so my first run wasn't pretty...OR quick.
However, when I got the bottom, and hadn't made a fool of myself (by falling or getting tangled in the gates)...I was completely "over" the angst" and intot he thrill.
So, relax. Do some NASTAR runs beofre you race (if you can get acess), and just have fun. You are racing against yourself (despite the character in the lane next to you).
MY BIGGEST MISTAKE....turning AT the gate vs apexing @ the gate. Still working on that one but it certainly gets easier to do once someone tells you about it. *smirk*
ENJOY!!
..and good luck trying to figure out that handicap system.
