Re: Driving school

Re: Driving school
Some clubs will run a novice school once or twice a year. Here in the tidewater area its put on by the Tidewater Sports Car Club.... I headed up the last one they put on 2 months ago. These event will put you with an instructor (a more experiance autox'r) who will really teach you the basics. These are good things to do early so you don't get locked into bad habits. As far as a more advanced school check out Evolution http://autocross.com/evolution/modules/news/ This school goes around the country teaching more advanced techniques and ideas. This sport can be what ever you want it to be from just cones in a parking lot and your DD to traveling the country with your high dollar heap on the back of a trailer. The key thing its to just come out and have fun.

Re: Driving school
Here's a great way to get started: http://www.autocross.us/forums/index.php?showtopic=3294
BCC is have a charity event in Pungo this weekend. $20 for as many runs as you want. It's basically a practice day, not a scored autocross. There will be more advanced people there that will be happy to jump in your car with you and give you some pointers.
If you do go, make sure you take a ride with one of the faster people as well as ask them to drive your car. It's a great eye opener.

Re: Driving school
only ones that i have heard of are real expensive, and are geared more towards open track racing. riding or driving experienced cone cutters seems like the best choice.

Re: Driving school
I have experienced the Novice school (CONE CLINIC) of Tidewater Sports Car Club... and I have found out what mistakes I have been doing all along and improve upon it and keep my car control instead of spinning my spyder before the school at every AUTOX event
BTW VSCC is having a Novice School at Richmond Raceway this July
