Re: 3-day school for my son

Sounds like Angus is one lucky young dude...
Attending a 3-day school is quite an occasion for kids and childish adults as well.

There have been several threads on this site about maximizing the 3-day experience and most center around keeping an open mind and realistic expectations.

The one aspect that I routinely see frustrating some young participants is the proper use of the clutch and shifting...

If there was someway you could get him some 'stick-shift time' before he sits in a race car it would be a huge help.
Just being able to get the clutch out and lurch the vehicle into motion without killing the engine or reducing the clutch to dust/smoke would ease his his transition into cars and make the entire school more beneficial...
