All the mechanical answers have been great but you can also track your performance
in relationship to your competition, get a qualifying sheet at each race and compare
your qualifying times to everyone else and see if your changing more than others. If you
have a few racing buddies you see frequently at the track you can compare et slips
from week to week and know where you stand, then if something is abnormal get out
the tools and start checking things out.
