Maybe not the correct place to ask this but...is it possible/allowed for a driver to attend an SCCA drivers school after already completing their school requirements?
I completed my school requirements last year at the NL double school and raced all season on my novice permit. I have way more races completed than actually needed for my full license but I'd like to attend the NL double school again in '10.
I could spend $350 and get maybe 45 minutes during a race weekend...or spend $500 and get six hours of track time at the school.
I still have lots to learn and I could really use that kind of seat time, especially now that I kinda have a clue as to some of the things I need to work on. :unsure:
I know Frenchy did this the year I took school. He had been racing a year and took a second school. I think he got an "exemption" from the chief steward. If you still have your novice license you might not even need that. I'm thinking if you have $500 and the desire to attend they'd be wrong to say no.Quote:

I did that my second year for the same reasons you listed and highly recommend it. Check with the event chair or chief steward. They probably wouldn't let you if they're full, but will welcome you with open arms if they're not.Quote:

Ryan...you do not need more schooling. If it is track time you seek...for sure... but remember that you may have a bunch of rank novices to avoid on the track.
Jim: I just saw what you did there...nice.
Beware, I still owe you from the bumper sticker escapade.
I thought you'd like that. You know, another option is the Nelson fun days they run on Fridays. That would be more track time than you can use and cheap.
So should we start taking bets on if any of the Bluegrass events actually end up happening or not?
If you are taking bets, I want some of that action.
Jim: Did you post on X-mas day? I thought the site was shutdown on national holidays.
Ryan: We should just have a Compound Day the Friday before the MVR event. This way you can use all that kanowledge for the race weekend. In know I'll need it to allow my kahonas to grow before I turn the wheel in competition. Just don't bend it up on Friday. You may not get the traction you need to straighten your whip in the paddock at NL like at MO.
Maybe I could even be your driver school instructor. You would make my job easy. :DQuote:

"Per the Exec. Steward for the Great Lakes Division SCCA. The Indy Dbl. Regional at Bluegrass May 1st-2nd has been canceled. The dates for August and October are still on the calendar."
Not a surprise, but unfortunate. Let's blame the snow and hold out some hope.
