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?

I took phase 1 and phase 2 back to back originally, and used to repeat phase 1 and/or phase 2 (whichever was available) every spring as a refresher. I haven't done it recently due to family health issues, but I could still benefit from it, and it does help clear the cobwebs.

Phase 1 is about the basics or mechanics, but I'd describe phase 2 as being more about the mental game.

You do need to take phase 1 first, but personally, phase 2 is the one to repeat later. Once you get the mechanics down and break any bad habits the first time you take phase 1, there won't really be anything new if you take it again. The segment times are cool though. I always learn something new in phase 2.

I haven't had an opportunity to take the Challenge or Extreme classes.
