The cambered uphill climb

That is a lot of fun!!! I haven't run CW, but I'm looking forward to doing CCW again. Lots of video watching this week

Anybody else see their instructor assignment, and then google their instructor

I found a blog and video of my instructor club racing at TWS, so I have a little more confidence that he knows his way around the track.

disapr · 11-15-2011, 10:25 AM

lol.. I didn't find anything useful on mine but I also didn't look very hard. I'll probably look again today.

So it looks like the instructor has to drive our cars for a few laps? I don't really see the point there.

bigjae1976 · 11-15-2011, 10:34 AM

Where do you find instructor assignments?

disapr · 11-15-2011, 10:36 AM

It's on your main registration page at http://clubregistration.net

bigjae1976 · 11-15-2011, 10:43 AM

I'm an idiot...I found it.

3 days to go! Just changed my oil, bled my brakes and swapped in my track pads. So now my car sounds like a garbage truck.

I forgot about that. Since I've done a DE with them before, I'm going to ask my instructor if we can skip that part. I hate it when others drive my car

disapr · 11-15-2011, 11:09 AM

This will be my first "DE" but I'm still not really on board with someone else driving. The last time I let someone drive my car it ended up in the grass.

When I went with PCA instructor didn't really push it too much, just easier for him to show us the line. Whole different story if he asks you to drive it on 2nd day. That's just too scary in my opinion.

where did it say that? I looked but didn't see that.

disapr · 11-15-2011, 11:55 AM

I think it was in the schedule doc. Look on the files tab at CR.net and you'll see it.

e46mike · 11-15-2011, 12:02 PM

ah..I see. For Green run group. They don't run it very hard...it is just showing the line.

bigjae1976 · 11-15-2011, 02:14 PM

Not a big deal but 3-4 laps seems like quite a bit.

03BeastCharmer · 11-15-2011, 02:29 PM

It was two laps the last time I was there. It just cuts into the 1st driving session.

i dont think your instructor will drive the car like the last person...dont turn off TC when they drive.

see yall this weekend!!!

gobuffs · 11-15-2011, 05:45 PM

If you never done a DE, you'll see how silly the statement of "why do they have to drive my car" is at the end of the weekend. Most places do that first session without helmets. Plus it just gives you incentive to get out of the novice group.

orion565 · 11-15-2011, 10:24 PM

you guys have fun, will all this crap, I am glad I am not going, will be at MSR this friday though to get a couple secs down

For some, it is like letting some strange guy take your wife out on a date.

Honestly, I was a bit leery about this at my first HPDE thinking that this guy is going to thrash my car. Really not a big deal. In fact, it was good because the instructor gave me pretty good feedback about my car...some good points and some potential improvements.

Yup! I'll be there Friday.

Inspection and brake fluid flush complete

rzm3 · 11-17-2011, 12:21 AM

Sorry guys brakes and tires still not in, so cannot make it... really wanted to meet everyone!

Anyhow I have a AiM Solo demo unit available for M Club members so that we can expand our lap time database. You guys can figure out how to share. Does anyone want to bring it over to TWS? Franklin?
