Find the fast guys at whatever venues you attend. Ride with them. Ask them to ride with you. Practice. Practice. Practice.
It probably won't happen overnight, but at some point, you will know when you are getting up to pace. You can use faster drivers as a benchmark.
Try to focus on you and the car rather than just the particular course you happen to be on. If you can run different courses, even better. You don't want to just become a "track X" expert, and then feel uncomfortable once you find yourself on roads you have not run a thousand times.
One other important thing; There is always someone faster, somewhere.
While you are improving your skillset, and raising your own personal limits, be mindful of those limits. When you encounter someone faster on a track, go ahead and push yourself (If the rules allow), there's runoff there. But when you encounter someone faster on a road, stay within your own limits. You did this well on your last encounter, but it may become more difficult to just "let someone go" after you put so much work into improving your driving.
As you improve, you will encounter fewer and fewer people that are faster....but there will always be some, somewhere.
