if you don't feel confident then yes go to beginner

Personally I have never ran the beginner class for counter. I will tell you after turn 1 the skidpad, I did miss the track.

get there at 7 register tech

815 will be your first parade lap with everyone.

You'll be in the beginner driving school where the group you up on average 6 car groups. This first time will be parade as well. Slow speeds at first then it will pick up the pace. Instructors are told to always keep in mind that all cars have the ****tiest tire on. RE92s, wan li all seasonal types. So the speeds wont exceed the capacity of yourself or the car.

Second session will be parading the track in a 2 car wide line. The purpose of this is to show you that there is plenty of room on the track and it is possible to drive on line or off line.

Third session will be single file line groups and showing you how to pass on straights. Every car will take turns giving point bys (the ok to pass) and making passes.

Forth session is full on go where passing is allowing only on straights.

Fifth session is the same.


All in all a busy busy day. You'll be on track and after each session you have to go to the classroom for your review and instructions. Its pretty affordable for a driving school granted you use your own car.

well there's packages

if you do a one day then its XXX if you do both days its cheaper obviously

The problem with this weekend is on Saturday we are running counter and I don't think any of us have ran in that configuration except myself and Cody.

Sunday is clockwise the common set up.

I'd advise to stay throughout the beginner because near the end of the day, they mix it up by throwing the beginners into intermediate groups so you will have a chance to drive with us.

There's gas stations by the area and one in the track too. There's also a motel by the freeway.

CCW is fun in its own way. Use the start/finish line as a marker for braking into the skidpad. The Bowl can be a little difficult.
