White?? Interesting..... Guess I'll bring my car.... and PLAY in the white group.... I was just going to instruct and leave the car at home....

Thanks for the warning! I've been in combined yellow/white run groups before and was very comfortable giving and taking a pointby in a corner. That is 1/10 the intensity of "open passing" and 1/100 the intensity of W2W, in my opinion.

I learned the difference because I earned a NASA TT license and was invited to the CMC/2 Rookie Day and had Rob Liebbe in my mirrors, or as the bastage seemed to have a habit of, out of my mirrors.

So I'm going to work on learning to "feel" the brakes. I'll also go back to a little later apex (I've been driving like a d*mn Spec Miata driver).

Maybe to continue and improve my skills, I should be in the Instructor group that has open passing? Or is that session more of a reward for the actual instuctors?

The brake early is a habit of mine, just ask my competitors. I prefer to let the car roll through the corners as opposed to jamming on the brakes and upsetting the car. That's when Glenn usually passes me. When I'm instructing, it more of a self-preservation thing. Also, as the student goes faster, he will need to brake earlier to bleed off that speed.

In and out of your mirrors was part of the drill. Hopefully you will have learned that you need extra or enhanced mirrors for competition.

Wayne, the more you run w/o abs the more you will learn to feel the pedal and feel just before the tires are about to lock.
Starting off easy and then applying more pedal pressure throughout the weekend will mainly help the tires last. :)

Start off by braking early (keeping the tires safe) and focus on corner exit. As you start to get more confident in your corner exit then start braking later while keeping the same exit speed.
If you happen to get a flat spot, just move it to the back and do a burnout! :lol:

+1; and then it will rain. :shock:

Seat time and pads make a difference. I made a front brake change over the winter and now need to dial out more rear as I'm getting used the car.

The good news is, the terror of being in front of most of these guys will "help" you brake deeper.
