I agree that USC will be fine in A+. An instructor does a quick checkout ride in the right seat for a few laps to ensure you're safe, etc. (this applies to all A+ students, regardless of how many times they've run in the A+ group). After that, you're on your own and you and the other A+ drivers get to have fun, albeit with the watchful eyes of your A+ group instructors out there watching you.

One thing that has bugged me about the A+ group is that I seen it where the students get sloppy as the speeds pick up over the weekend. Apexes get missed, turn ins are too early and full track out isn't utilized. This is where your classroom sessions should come into play. Call each other out on these things, not b/c you are trying to be a prick (I don't need to "try", it comes naturally), but rather b/c you are there to learn and get better. If people take the criticism to heart, they can improve. Check your egos at the door!
