The biggest thing would be to ask questions BEFORE going on track, or at least just watch the starting line for a while to see how things work.

Another big one is to make sure you know where the finish line and return road are so you can stop safely and get off track without crossing in front of the other car.

Read a rule book. Lots of good information in there.

It's up to us old-timers to help the newbies along, no matter hwat kind of vehicle they are driving. New blood is our future.
