Re: Scanner suggestions

Oh yes you do... Tell him if he turns any earlier... He'll be in Cleveland..."
At Tremblant in '05 I was in the steep part of the learning curve and Bob Ziegel gave me some feedback that I still wear as a badge of honor.

If the instructors know you have "ears" on some will talk to you directly and give you instant feedback that you can incorporate while driving. Wouldn't suggest it until you've run a few race weekends and the chatter won't distract more than help. The instructors also know where to give you feedback so that it's not overly distracting.

Would never suggest it for a newbie or someone distracted by the chatter but it works for some and it is useful to hear when a full course yellow has been called or when the green flag is waved coming back from a yellow.
