Rebel Scum Reports: HQ Racing, Peekskill, NY

It occurs to me that all the time I have spent here:

Is probably why I’m enjoying HQ Racing so much. Note that both of these tracks involve really delicate kart placement and careful balance. Since they are technical complexes on weirdly grippy surfaces, the driving needs to be careful how you throw weight around because you are trying to be efficient/quiet. I know that’s always the case but it feels especially similar in style.

Chasing the pace at Xtreme taught me the stuff I needed to do it here as well.

Also, further, while HQ is the polar opposite of SC in terms of grip and also a rather different type of driving, that too directly led me to where I’m at right now.

I’ve babbled a bit to Warren about how I’ve been using daily driving to inform my race driving. What’s interesting and intersects with all this is how all of a sudden I’ve come to the point where daily and race driving have totally overlapped and I’m not talking about going fast.
