Each GP 1 Student will be able to do skid pad during any open session. I will take groups of five over there.

There will be two groups of drivers using the track on Monday June 27. We alternate use of the track and are group 2. So the Z's, 1 G and 1 WRX get to be on the track at the same time.

It is the most helpful thing you can do it you are new to a track day. It will teach you how your car acts in a slide. You will quickly learn how to correct this on the skid pad. If you get into a slide it is better to have practice and not panic to rely on.

25 hours to go.
Things to remember.
Sunscreen, sun glasses, hat
water, water, water, WATER!!
You must wear long pants. You can change in the club house for the lunch hour if you would like.
Bring an open mind and leave your pride at home. I still spend lots of time off the track. Part of a learning environment.
When you get to the track my instructors will be doing pre-track setup. Please allow them to do this.
John Barrentine or Brian Whitehead will be there to show you where the lift and air are.
Be in the classroom at 9:00!! In the morning the schedule is not flexible and you need to make sure you are where you group is on time.
If you want to try and possibly buy a CG-Lock please bring $35 cash.
Be prepared to have a great time!
John

Thanks to everyone for coming out. I had a great time as I think everyone did.
I have thrown together a little in-car video and posted it to my web site. Beware it is 20MB http://www.maxground.com/motorsport_ranch.htm

I just reviewed the tape. If you got passed by Warren do not feel bad he has a real good line around the track.
I did see some of you that were not using the whole track. If you watch the cars out front they may not be hitting all the APEX cones. It is like connecting the dots.
Yes I did catch Warren's three car pass on the second strait.
Shame on you Warren.
