Hey guys,
So far I'm still on track to hit comp school in late sept. in Memphis (MIR). Any vets out there willing to lend a friendly tip or two about comp school, or anything that might be of help to me? |

Watch for and respond to flags
Don't try to be fast, be smooth and use consistent lines and braking points Look ahead, look to the corner exit from entry, look at the big picture Prep the car fully beforehand, and have someone to help with fuel and tire stuff, if the NASA school is like the SCCA school you won't have any time to futz with the car. Listen to your instructor, figure out what they are looking for, and do it Look at each and every flag station, every lap. You need to have a real time flag status marker in your brain - don't count on catching a flag as an exception. When you are thinking about passing someone, ask yourself what the flag status is Read and understand the CCR "Rules of the Road" If there is something you don't quite get about those rules, ask your instructor. If he can't answer, ask the chief instructor. |
