You WILL start looking at every flag on the grounds to get a feel for the wind (andf a wind gauge too). You have to heat them up and cool them down EXACTLY the same for each run. My best friends have watched me over the years and just laughed their tails off at what it takes to make them fairly consistant. They have tried to race my cars "their way" and had no successat all. If you want a "Bracket Stocker" then you had better build an A,B,C, car. That being said, a good lower classed car can win on a consistant track.

Hey old man, you forgot to mention the use of an open face helmet.It's hard to crank your head 180 degrees with a full face.After 9 years with my car I have it down fairly well,but it still throws you a curve when you least expect it,like the first run of the day.
You going to Atco old man?When will we be blessed with the presence of the Don?
