On a different note: Does TWS allow passengers for non-intructors during their events?

No.

Thankfully.

If it is an LSR event (and I think it is) then no, PCA does not allow passengers in ANY CARS (unless things have changed...) You may be referring to paying students going out with instructors and that is fine. Or maybe you mean non-paying participants with instructors (used to be no) or maybe you mean one student driving with another student (that was also a big no)...

Guys,

Screw the heat! Have you looked at the roster? There's only 6 other drivers in Yellow and 4 in White.

This will be a blast, I'm telling you.

I checked with the registrar of the event, Misty Cain, and it's indeed a confirmed No with TWS MSC.

I am fairly certain they will be running CW for this event, in case that temps anyone who is sitting on the fence. We are racing CW with NASA the weekend after and the Cain's are looking to get some early practice running in that direction.

The only DE group that I have heard of that allows passengers on certain occasions is NASA (from their website). Now having said that, I have not seen any NASA HPDE events posted for our area. Nor have I been to any and witnessed this happening.

NASA runs 6 events a year around here, and they do allow passengers. There's a small fee and a few rules about it, but it's pretty straight forward.

I missed the crowd. Had a blast though.

2nd session in yellow on Sat. I decided that a little excursion around the Nascar oval seemed like a good idea. Pretty nice actually.

Afterwards Dr. Ken prescribed "bigger *****".

Any ideas?

Get higher, closer to the wall before you turn down into 15. The camber of the banking will help the car turn, and then you can brake all the way to the turn in for 15.

Try using your brakes?

I hear that you're not the only one who failed to turn at T15.
