Details
-----------------------------
This year's autocross school is going to be a bit different from anything
we've done before. The Intermediate/Advanced School is on the calendar,
and yet, we've had numerous requests for another novice school as well. Mike Whitney has had a major conflict and won't be chairing this event, but the school will be based on the format he had planned.
This year, we will be running a combined school- with novices and intermediate students. Our event limits will be:
20 Novices (7 events or less)
20 Intermediate Students (8 events or more)
We will also have 20 instructors, to maximize your time and the consistency of instruction.
For the purposes of the school, a novice is somebody with an experience range between ZERO events and seven events. If you've done eight or more events, including schools, then you can sign up as an intermediate student.
If you have been autocrossing for three,four or more years OR you routinely pax in the top 25% of the event field, this is not the school for you. We are going to be focusing on novices, and those who are just beyond the novice level. If you've paxed higher than any of the autox VPs or the Prez this year, you can't come to this one unless you are instructing! If you consider yourself an advanced student, you should contact me about instructing!
The cost for this event is $30.00, which includes lunch. You should still
bring gallons of cold water to drink though!
Students will work with instructors in the morning and in the early afternoon. Of course you will be working for a part of that time as well. This year, as a reward to our usually burned out, self sacrificing instructors, we will be asking the students to work the course for a session after lunch while the instructors drive. We expect to dismiss the students between 3:00 and 3:30 in the afternoon.
Planned activities include:
- re-calibration of your senses (meaning you ride with the instructor in
the instructor's car)
- course walking and analysis
- lots of runs with an instructor coaching you in your car
- timed and un-timed courses
- lunch time education
