I skipped directly to the masters, so my understanding may not be 100% accurate, but I believe the lower classes only have lead/follow. Masters is the first time you get to lap the course w/o a lead car. Some of the students had prior DE experience, but most did not.

This is why they went to such extremes to explain the passing process.

You do have to complete the HPDC first although you can request a waiver.

I have done the first two classes, really a lot of fun, great instructors, great cars. Most likely will do the Masters Plus some time this year, 3 days and you can apply for a SCCA license.

Thanks for sharing, Lar! Won't be long before you're in the GT4!

Ah, got it. That's interesting that everyone (other than you) had done the first class but few had any DE experience. I would have thought that people who had done the first class would want to go get some DE experience before the second. Maybe some did the two classes back-to-back; that'd be a fun four days!

Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed your comments.

I was at a PSDS two day class. Facilities are first rate and I hope to drive my own car there for a DE at some point.

Indeed, there were a few folks there doing classes back to back. Very smart to get 4 straight days of instruction and driving. I too wanted to do this, but the masters plus class schedule didn't allow. I'll very likely be back though.

Thanks so much for explaining your experience with the class. I'm doing the Masters class on May 5-6.

You're going to love the track. The steep climb and blind crest (right at the apex!) of T4 leaves you breathless. T13 is a huge rush as well. Similar to T4, no where near as steep, but just as blind.

Study the track maps and watch loads of video before you go!

Thanks so much. Already been on YouTube!
