Re: 2 day advanced school at VIR

I was gonna say that if you ever want your instructor's undivided attention for hours at a time you need only offer to buy dinner and pick up the bar tab as well. The advice will make less sense as the evening progresses, but you'll have a friend for life.

And yes, I'm kidding. If there's time during the Nationals they'll be glad to talk to you but you'll have much more to talk about during your school. At the Nationals, watch the interaction between instructors and racers. In the real world, there's as much helmet throwing as there is info sharing. In the Skippy world, it's all about getting better. I'd suggest listening in on those conversations but the participants tend to enjoy an audience more when things are going extremely well.

As you're obviously smart enough to know you don't know everything, you're gonna have a ball. Be sure to let us know how it goes, ok?

And welcome to the dark side.

I would suggest that you buy or borrow an inexpensive scanner and tune into the live race reports from the instructors out on the course. Some of those reports are classic.
