AutoX school info

Posted by Paul Soals on the SFR SCCA mailing list...

OK folks, here is the list of instructor/student
matchups for the school Saturday.

Also included is the run order for the afternoon
sessions on the big track.

Please be onsite at 8 AM to meet your pupils or your
instructor, get signed in, etc.

And a big thanks goes out to everyone who has
volunteered their Saturday to help us get (almost)
more instructors than we needed!

See everyone bright and early on Saturday!

I don't feel that I am qualified. I still have a ways to go. When I am happy that I know what I am doing then I'dd do it. Its probably a self-confidence issue

Ditto. At one day the autox school isn't exactly extensive in depth training. It gives the students seat time and a chance to ride with someone faster than them. Anyone who consistently PAXes in the top 30 has a lot to offer the autox school as a teacher. On average you drive faster than 261+ other drivers at a given event. Generally speaking ther are only 10 to 29 drivers at a given event that are faster than you.

And to further elaborate....

Most of what is being taught at the course is sort of intuitive if you've been racing for a while. Stuff like

Slow In, Fast out
How to read a corner for the apex
Concept of "early" and "late" apex
How to "string together" multiple corners in a row
How to brake
Emphasis on being smooth

You way more than have all of these down already

I was tempted to sign up as a student again this year, but I thought I probably shouldn't take a slot from a legitimate beginner

I know... it's REALLY tempting just to get the seat time, it made such a big difference for me.
