Best way to learn is to go to the track. Ask questions, talk with racers, watch them do it, and then do it yourself. Reading will help you familiarize yourself, but the best way to get this sport is to learn by doing and getting those invaluable tips from the pros.

rules to remember stage shallow
mash gas on third amber and GO!
dont expect perfect reaction times or anything else for the first few runs.
get to know the track and how your car reacts.
find the grooove and stay in it!
