Im not sure about taking vidcodin, but is there any other kind of OTC pill you can take to help calm down nerves??
Viagra
all the adrenaline will be in your lower body so nothing to worry about mind wise
no really, i dont think you need pills to calm down, chew on gums, it really helps. with more time on the track, i started to be less nervous and drives calmly from start of Quals to end of Amain. i chew on gums and hear nothing but my pit man. when am leading, i always think of lapping the guy infront and make sure not do mistakes.
if 2nd or 3rd, i tell myself that am faster and will catch up by driving smooth and clean. and by doing so, i managed to pull a 30min Truggy Amain with zero mistakes. i was amazed afterwords
just be confident of your car/ pit man and your driving skills.
i started the thread because i had the problem, now am giving advices, sweeeet
cheers
