I signed up for phase 1 and 2 of the New York Evo school in a few weeks.

I'm assuming everyone takes the school on street tires since 20 to 40 runs for each day can use up a set of R compounds. Right now I have 45 runs on mine and want them to last the season, another 4 events at about 8 runs each.

Is there anything unusual I should expect for the weekend.... besides a ton of vehicular abuse?

So is phase 2 no good?

I've been autocrossing for 12 years and have a bunch of bad habits to get rid of... along with learning new stuff.

Phase 1 drills the basics home and those elements will be at EVERY autox course you ever run. So it is best to have the sticky tires so that you can feel how the car behaves in those elements.

Phase 2 is great as well but I feel that retaking phase 1 is better bang for my buck and I just want to do the challenge school. Phase 2 is more about showing you the important things to look for in a course...you can drive the proper line of the course on streets but just alot slower than you can on r-comps.

I am looking at taking phase 1 again as evo school was my first try with the car and i really need to work more on my car placement and becoming more consistant.

But both phase 1 and 2 are good to take its just I would rather retake phase 1 than retake phase 2.
