Natalie Decker Racing Basic Tips

By George Anderson


Car racing is the sport where participants are trying to compete for the fastest one to finish the contest with their automobile. These competitions are usually held on oval tracks with different categories depending with the automobile used. An example are stock cars which have no modifications done to them from its original configuration.

Many people are into this sport and have been successful in pursuing a career with the help of the people around them. One of these racers is Natalie Decker racing where she has started joining competitions at a very young age. Here are some basic tips for you when you want to join and start a career in racing.

You could start with your own car and use it if you have but those vehicles which are SUVs or trucks are not allowed. If not then wait until you can afford to buy one or if possible, just borrow or rent the appropriate vehicle. Whatever type is allowed as long as the vehicle is mechanically sound though it is better to begin with one that is not so fast for a faster progression of skills.

Right preparation is simple, affordable and easy specially when using stock which is best for beginners. Just be sure that it has been maintained well through securely attaching the seats and seatbelts, fluids and belts are recent, wheels torqued and brakes flushed. Modifying parts is a money waster except when spent on brake pads and fluids.

Get a good helmet particularly when using stock vehicles because you will be needing and using it for thirty minutes without the chance of adjusting it. To know more regarding basic concepts and their explanations, read good books. Some ideas you will read may not have any sense at first but once you tried racing then they will.

Have plenty of rest, food and water days before and on the day itself of your first track event. Driving on a racetrack is mentally tiring specially if it is your first time so make sure you have not drank alcohol or abused any substance days before. Bring something to eat and drink on the track to keep your energy up.

Have realistic expectations by not expecting to be among the fastest drivers in the track with your first try. You are more than likely one of the slowest or even the slowest driver among them as it almost is impossible to be the fastest at first try. Just do the best you can and remain humble so you can use this an experience for improvement.

Attend an event as a guest or spectator first before as a driver so you would have an idea on how these events are before being a part of it. This would also give you ideas in the kind of things you want to buy and bring in when it is your turn. It would also be your way of scouting out events where you can join as a novice driver.

Consider to have a private coach if you have higher class vehicles and can afford one. Have one with experience in similar cars to yours. It is advantageous also to work with the same person every time.
