Driving practice.
 

Two questions on this, is there going to be any practice evening/days at the track?

Also if I go practice elsewhere would i be better off practicing with a buggy or using something like a short course truck?

1 lets get the track useable and 2 there will be practice days

Once track is rebuilt, the best way to get better is to race. Not just at SHRCCC but also other tracks, just stick to the buggy for now as a truck handles different. If you want to go bashing over the woods or on a dirt track a short course could be useful to avoid wearing out your race car.
But the ONLY way to get better is to race race race and listen to the top guys (and dudders)

Thanks Chris, I think!

Plan is to race one Sunday, full day per month and another AM open track session :)
