[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1139811, member: 17212"] Indy. Yes I did race in the midwest in the early 70's. What is your dads and uncles names? I raced mostly AMA and also some Badger fair circuit stuff. Some great tracks back there and some of the best fans on the planet. GMC. I don't remember a guy named Joe Huff. But, I can't remember what I had for dinner last night either. :ohmy: BURP! Oh wait. It's coming back to me now. Burgers. Mmmmmmm. :nod: I would not recommend practicing your sliding in the mud. Like gwcrim suggested, wet grass works good and also gravel or any loose surface where you don't need to use a lot of speed to break traction. You want to find a slick yet predictable surface. The faster you go the easier it is to do but, when your just learning keep the speed low. Use the worn tire until you get the hang of it. Body position is also very important. When entering the turn you want to be up on the gas tank. This gives you better traction on the front wheel and less traction on the rear. Makes it easier to break the rear end loose. When you are exiting the turn you want to slide back to give yourself better traction on the rear. If you are in the middle of the turn and you want to break the rear tire loose, slide forward more or lift your butt off of the seat. If you want better traction, slide back or weight your outside foot peg or both. Also, try to keep both feet on the pegs as much as possible. This will give you better balance and feet-up slides look cool too. Let us know how it's workin' for ya. :cool: [/QUOTE]
