If u havent gone with the full hpde nasa Chasen from the beginning and havent even gone to sp I would be hesitant to participate. Not only hpde 4 is aggressive u wont have ne of that point-by comfort. Safety is dependent on passer not the other way around. Regards. Mike

GGR is making it even easier to do the ground school as they moved it on track for the last event. it's much more convenient than before.

Mike,
PCA: following ground school, all "students" will be assigned an instructor (which are typically pretty helpfull) and will continue to have instructors until "signed-off" as good to solo. Then you remain a "student" (which means that you will be assigned an instructor for the morning session of each subsequient event) until you complete two events without going two wheels off, or black flag, or some other "infraction". After two clean events, you aren't required to have an instructor and can move up the ranks into the higher run groups.

drive the line and you be fine, mike.
by "the line" i mean the paved line. not dave's line. he makes 3 miles tracks into 2.75 miles hahahaah
i got from the 2nd slowest group to instructor's red group in two days (one event)
but now i prefer one group down from red. most cars in red are decked out race cars. i usually just keep my finger out the window every lap to get those cars by. 300hp 1800 lbs cars are pretty fast.
blue group is fast and fun..... well... you do have to follow the passing rules.
no open passing in PCA GGR regardless of run groups. but blue group points you by pronto.
