. Get consistant lap times (with in .6 i'd say is fairly damn good for offroad) and be smooth.
Dude ?
get your lap times within .6 seconds on each other ?
Thats on par with the better racers in the world. Look at the pros lap times. Your talking about alot for an average racers.
I dont know what tracks yr racing on, but most tracks I run on are 30-50 second tracks and I would say that if you can keep most lap times withing about 3 seconds of each other, your doing a pretty good job. Sure the more consistant the better, but if you can avoid the occasional heavy lap, you will be in the upper level of your class if your lap times match.
