I've been trying to improve rutted corners since I started racing this past September. I've got this bad habit of looking where I am and not where I want to go. I guarantee as soon as you look where you are it becomes an instant screw up.

I spent the weekend at Mosier Valley slowing down so I can go faster. This track is deep sandy loam and gets killer ruts. I noticed if I never looked at the ruts going into & coming out of corners I never had a problem, if I even glanced down once I was in the ruts I normally high sided and went down or at least lost valuable time getting off in the lose stuff.

There are also long straight-aways there and dirt so lose that if you were to walk in it you would sink 6". I found I would get squirrelly and loose my line unless I looked way up the track where I wanted to go. It's a hard habit for me to break (not looking where I am) but if I can ever get it down 2nd nature I'll be proud of myself.
