Just build up to a level where you feel comfortable taking your car downhill.

I went to the mountains by myself about three or four times before I went with a group. That way I could drive at a pace that i felt comfortable with, and gradually build up enough confidence to drive harder. I learned how long I can wait before braking, how my car will react to steering changes ect... NOw i can keep up with cars that SHOULD walk away from me in the twisties.

But I'm also a crazy mofo who gets sideways around every corner.
