My practice routine, I run one 30 minute run per day every day for the series track. RC Excitement is going to be a challenge because it is new and my setup is in its infant stages.
Here is my practice Regiment, I think it works because I made the top 10 and 20 in both classes last race.
Run 30 minutes a day NO DNF's if it goes bad I have to focus and talk to myself to calm down, like racing motocross my mechanic would write breath, be smooth. I have to talk to my self like this.
At the end of the race, Fast lap and race average lap time need to be within 1/2 a second. Fast lap is 16:33, 16:98 would be the goal for the whole 30 minutes.
The game automatic takes out pit laps so don't worry about pitting messing up your average.
Have fun and try your best to practice with a purpose.

NEVER GIVE UP,
I started out with a 20 second lap and then a 19 and thought ok its over. No DNF's rule kept me working. I started running low 16's and by lap 8 I had the green light on the screen. On lap 35 I decided to go one more lap before pitting, I almost made it but dumped right before the pits. Hit space and change the battery. That was a 60 second lap, now I really wanted to quit but I have a no DNF rule in practice. Now I worked harder and focused on low 16's almost ran a 15, and by lap 85 I had a green light again. Then I snapped under the pressure or relief from actually catching up.
I will run 105 or 106 by the time it is done.
19 laps in 5 minutes is the goal for the series event.

Nice that is showing a great improvement. Right after I Run my 30 minute run I go and throw down a 5 minute sprint on the Cars RC Club race. There is quite a competition going over there right now.
19 laps in 5 minutes, 2 one hundredths of a second between 1st and 2nd.

Dons Training Journal: 4/18/2013
Started out with 2 17's and a 21. After about 15 laps I began to get some rythm and flow. By lap 50 I caught my target. I held the lead for 10 laps but was not able to maintain focus.
I started catching up again at lap 90' and then cracked again.
I will get 105 tomorrow.....
My 5 minute race on Cars RC was terrible. all over the place 18 laps.
