HPDE Instructor
Learned a little more about the event, they are trying to get instructors to give a class before sending us out...not ideal but better than nothing I guess.
This would make me a wee bit nervous.
ALL clubs that do HPDE ALWAYS have a classroom session for Novice drivers. Usually about 3-45 min. as well a drivers meeting in the morning.
They must go over:
Flags
Passing rules
Pit in/Pit out
What to do, or what not to do if your stuck on track,
and other things.
I dont see any way they could just take a bunch of guys and say "Go ahead, drive the track!!" That wont happen. If it does, pack up and leave.
There HAS to be classroom sessions, download sessions etc. AND instructors.
