Here's just a great picture of one of the tougher things to do....looking ahead to your next gates/turns before you even finish passing the next one. Note the driver wheel is off the ground too...sweet picture that just personifies autoX perfectly!
yup, that's my problem. even though i can't feel myself doing anything different, somehow my turns go through smoother and faster when i look well ahead. i know a few people who tape their windshield over a few inches above the bottom to force themselves to look ahead. the one guy is FAAAAAST in his Hoosier'd S2000.
