LMFAO!! That's the best advice...

Go low and wide. All kinds of goodies you can buy, depends on how serious you are about racing flat track. If it's a clay type surface, you'll need flat track tires. Dirt and gravel, you're usually allowed, and can get away with knobbies. I was happy with my Razrs last year in the one flat track I ran. Turf Tamers hook up good, but with a softer tire compound the trade-off is short tire life. pay attention to the track and what lines work best. Generally go to the inside on the turns, as you come out of the turn let your momentum carry you out, you'll fade out to a higher lane, accelerating like a sling shot effect... Hold that lane, or wherever is best, coming in to the next turn you'll swing down sharply to the inside again... repeat this for all four turns... don't let off the gas until you PASS the finish line to take the checker flag! And don't look back to see where other riders are, run your own race. Watch for ruts in the corners, they'll throw you around a little. Good luck, ride safe and let us know how you do!
