Thanks for your help.


I would actually like to clarify my original question by saying that I am only an intermediate/beginner student who is still focused on learning the "fundamental" skills.  I did not intend to ask the question in order for me to figure out how to go faster, but rather to see if I can feel less intimidated.


During my last track events of last year (3-day), I spun out twice in my car which I had never changed settings (the car originally came with sway bars and I never touched the settings) - no accident whatsoever, btw.  I was not kicked out of the event since my instructor told the supervisor that it was his fault. 


These all happened when exiting the corner.  My instructor told me to give a bit more gas when exiting a tight turn - which I did very gently.  When the car spun out, he told me that he did not think that the car would do that with just tab more gas. 


This has not happened to me before in the same car (the same car that I ran at NSXPO 2005 without any incident).  Granted, I could have been less cautious during that track event.  However, after that day, I became really scared of driving on the track.


I am still scared about driving and want to make it as safe as possible so that my car is more forgiving to my mistakes until I regain my confidence since I really enjoy driving at the track.


Someone mentioned that I could make the car less aggressive by adjusting the sway bar.  So, I figured that I could perhaps try that to make me feel less intimidated.   That's why I asked, and I truly appreciated all your inputs.
