Yeah, it'll be $300 without the banquet. Price does include a lunch on Sat & Sun. You won't find any other organization that is going to be cheaper and safer for a newbie.

I know, I'll be your instructor. You'll drive the first few laps like a noob, then "magically" get it and go as fast as the wind (that's fast at Chuckwalla). All due to exceptional instruction. Work with me here...

In. Will likely be driving my Korean import instead of the MZ4 Coupe this time.

A+ program assumes you know enough of the driving fundamentals and have enough advance technique down that it's main focus is on parsing the finer driving skills that happens in your head.

Last year, there were only like 10-12 cars out there in A+ And half of them were B students who got moved up because there were too many B's. .

Looks like my conflict cleared up and I will be able to attend this event.
From the signup website, it looks like I'll need to buy a Snell helmet for the school. Are there any places local that sell helmets? Would prefer to try before I buy. |

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!

For the organizers, I've heard a couple A+ guys say there's a LOT of instructors out in their run group sometime, and they're doing their own "race" with the student feeling like they're stuck in the middle of it. I know the A+ gets training in doing some race maneuvers, but they didn't sound too thirlled about the situation.
