Just some racing advice too, unless your racing with the top dogs of your track in the A Main, it pays to be patient in the first turn. Everyone is so Jacked up about getting to turn one and being able to "race" someone that they forget that the first lap still has ump-teen turns, and you get a bunch of guys barreling into turn one only to create a pile up.
It pays to either wait and let them pile up ahead of you or get there first and stay clear of the pile up. The tough part of letting them pile up in front of you is you still have to dodge them. And you'll always have the guys that think pinning the throttle as soon as someone flips them over is going to win them the race when really they tend to get out of control again and stuff it or punt you. It's a fine line.
