Thread: A call for our seasoned experts

    A call for our seasoned experts

    As announced at ECR, NASA Texas is setting up a "Rookie Day" format for the non-racing event at TWS in November. What this means is we pair up "rookies" (anyone that wants to have instruction from a veteran racer) with an appropriate veteran expert. The on track sessions will be passing drills, follow the leader, etc. We will have post session discussions where someone will present on topics like setting up passes, suspension tuning, pre-race prep, etc.

    What we are looking for is YOU our seasoned racing veterans!! You will be paired up with one "rookie" and it is your responsibility to educate them throughout the day, focusing on whatever needs your "rookie". You will be required to sit in during the post track session discussions and participate as needed in them, but you will not be required to present to the crowd if you dont want to. You must have a car with you for lead/follow and other on track drills.

    Email me (txroadracer@gmail.com) and let me know if you're interested in helping out one of your fellow drivers. Let me know the class/car you typically run, what car you can bring, and whether or not you're interested in presenting to the group.

    No car. Thanksgiving weekend. I guess I could just spend the night at the track after the Aggies beat the hell out t.u.! Whoop!

    And you said "expert."

    I have already had to claim the family exemption for this weekend. Sorry... I would like to participate and help out, but I can't on a Holiday weekend.

    I'm signing up for the rookie part, not the expert part. See y'all there!
