I really need to brush up on my AutoX (as if I was ever competent?!) and want to do Evo's school.  I'll be getting my kids AutoX'ing when they start driving and that ain't so far away anymore.  I hit the registration link but no response ... what's the cost of their schools?  Thanks

$275 per Phase. I'll check and see what is going on with the link.

Does anyone know anything when registration will be open?  It said the 15th, but I still don't see it when I go to try to add it to the shopping cart.  Any info would be... info .

God Bless,

Jeff

brief hijack

Carl hit 15 over the summer. I was kind of dreading teaching my own kids how to drive, but its been fun (mostly). It has been a big learning curve since we don't have anything with an automatic. That has delayed getting too much seat time in real traffic as he still has a lot to think about beyond just getting down the road. Of our three cars he likes the Golf the best. The time I had him drive the XT was an eyeopener for him. I hope to get him to an autocross or two this summer, then maybe our school in 011. I figure the old rock hard street tires on the Miata will be a good learning tool. Plus there isn't a budget for anything racing this year.

 

Back to our regularly scheduled thread...

Hmmm............................................

 

First autocross at 15

Road racing at 16

Racing champion at 17

 

Where I have heard that before? Get that kid in an autocross quickly! Follow that up with a Street Survival school quickly! Follow that up with a PDX quickly! Oh......................and buy a good torque wrench.

LOL!  I'll add that to the list as I don't think the one I have will stand up to his head. 

I'll also need spares. Yesterday riding home from school he broke a crank arm on his mountain bike at the connection to the bottom bracket. Went to the HUB, they looked at it and said: "wow, never seen one break there before".

Jeff,

Having the skills from a Phase 2 really helps with the Challenge school. Due to the unique situation here with us holding a Phase 1 and Challenge the same weekend, Mike and I are discussing the requirement for the Phase 2.

Did anything come out about this? I am curious about doing the Evo school.

I do have other questions... How much benefit would just doing Phase 1 be to someone who has two years of autocross under his belt, but is merely average skill? Is the Challenge this in any way going to improve my skill as well?

Phase 1 is a benefit to everyone no matter how many years experience. I know I've said this many times before, but National Champions have taken Phase 1 after they have won a championship and found thay had picked up a bad habit or two so they found some more places to be faster. :)

I would say wait till you have had a Phase 2 before you take the Challenge school. In the Challenge, the focus is using the skills from Phase 1 and Phase 2 under the heat of competition.

Phase 1 it is. It's easier to convince the girlfriend to spend $275 instead of $550 anyway. :D
