dbgeek Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 VIR in Feb. Every time I try to go to a South-East event, some family event overrides my decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jon M. Posted December 22, 2010 Members Share Posted December 22, 2010 Anyone want to clue us in on what to expect, and what should be done ahead of time? Things to do: Comp Application Recharge Fire Extinguisher (expired) Physical... cough! What to expect is simple: don't be involved with anything metal to metal, don't put four wheels off, make sure you pass a couple people, take the drills seriously, watch out for random emergency flags, and make sure your car is 100% in compliance with the CCR. The on-track instructors will do their best to mess with you (late braking, riding your bumper, etc), keep your cool, run cleanly, and when they pass, do your best to keep up. The day is great, the instructors are top notch, and the event is well run. You will be fairly tired by the end and you won't have much (if any) time to work on your car during the day (so make sure it is ready to go the night before). Oh and eat breakfast.

Scany Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 That's good advice Jon, but now I'm more nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scany Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 How well do I need to study the CCR? I have already read them, and will spend more time with it, but is it like a college test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getfast Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 NASA-MA supercomp school is a blast, probably the most fun day you'll ever have on track. Have someone else deal with your car if possible, even if it's just "add fuel, check oil, torque lug nuts, check tire pressures, clean windshield." You'll be back and forth between the classroom and on-track stuff pretty much all day. Yes, there is usually a written test based on anything and everything in the CCR that pertains to racing. Also, make sure you can get out of your car in 10sec (in full gear, with window net up, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scany Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Just double checking here: no need for passenger seats right? And when is it best to bring the car through tech for a logbook? Thursday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getfast Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Correct, no need for a passenger seat in comp school (it's the instructor clinic that you would need one for.) And yes, Thursday PM would be the preferred time to get a logbook issued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getfast Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Nope, just come to tech when it's open (usually like 6:30-9p Thursday, or similar.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
