Scott,
The only way you’ll get good regaurdless of what class you race in is following people who are better than you and watching and following thier lines. And to quote the Allen Iverson antithesis, you’re going to have to practice, practice practice! Good luck in whatever class you race and you (still) owe me a root beer on you! (I think I can drink it now since the time you stood me up!)
Cheers,
