Question on Novice School, Arizona Motorsports Park

[Banner]

Hi Everybody,

I've been wanting to get into AutoX for years now and the time has finally come. Where can I get more information about the Novice School that will be held on Nov. 14th? 

Thank you!

So we aren't going to be running a driver's school this year. Instead, it will be a test and tune day. Well be making some announcements about it soon, and if they relax restrictions, we should have some instructors annular that day if you'd like some help. But that one is a bit out of our hands at this point...

[Banner]

Understood. Damn you Rona!

Dave, will there be corner weighing at that event?  Long ago there were club scales, but it's been a long time since I've seen any mention of them.... so I'm not sure if they're around any more.

[Dave]

We did get the scales functional again, so we will probably bring them out for that event.  Can't make any promises, but we will do our best to have them there.

[Banner]

Being that this would be my first event and given the current situation, would there still be time to explain how the course work is done along with walking the course? I'm just not familiar with process. 🙂

Banner, the SCCA guide would be a good start.  On page 57 is where course penalties (including specifics about pylons) are discussed.

You'd want to get there early enough so that you'd have time to walk the course at least 2 times.  If there's a walking group where someone is explaining specifics about each section of the course, that would also be good for you... but I'm not sure if those are going on right now.

Thank you, I'll be sure to review the guide and arrive early.

Speaking on Behalf of the 40ROLL car club. We are very intrested in the test and tune day and will likely all be there. (8 or more cars).

Banner if you end up going to the test and tune I will be happy to spend some time with you to show you the ropes.

Hi Nick, I would really appreciate that. I'm definitely going to attend. 

[Nick Sloan]

Cool. I will always attend the morning session. Cya then.

[Andy]

Is there any word on group size limit for the Test and Tune yet? Is it going to have registration like normal events? 

[Dave]

It will be registration like normal events.  Usually we keep reg numbers low for events like these...  we're working out the details of the event currently, we should have something to post on it soon.
