GENERAL INFORMATION:

We will be splitting everyone into two groups to go out on the track.  There is a slow group (beginner/novice drivers) and a fast group (advanced/experienced drivers).  The main difference between the two groups is how comfortable you are with driving on the track and the relative speed of your car.  IT IS YOUR CHOICE. ***PLEASE start out in the beginner group if you have never been to the track before – you are free to move to the fast group when you are comfortable.

PASSING: In the slow group, passing can only be done with a point-by from the car in front of you. PLEASE make sure you are able to fully make the pass before the turn-in.  The passing car needs to move off the racing line to make the pass – the car being passed NEEDS TO STAY ON THE RACING LINE to stay predictable. DO NOT move over to let people by! Also, the car being overtaken should let off the gas to let the passing car by – do not race them to the corner! You need to be comfortable passing cars AND getting passed.  There will always be a slower car in front of you and a faster car behind you. PAY ATTENTION!   Fast group is responsible for their own passing – please make sure all passes are done safely. 

Remember, the key to passing in BOTH groups – It is the responsibility of the car making the pass to go off-line to make the pass. DO NOT move out of the way, off-line to “help”. You need to be consistent and predictable when other drivers are behind you.

REMEMBER – there are no Formula 1 scouts out at the event, this is not a race, we are here to have fun.  Do not be stupid or try to show off!
