I was going to go to that event but decided to retire early for the year. I may still go up to visit and hang out as my web designer is driving at that event. at the last NCRC event I instructed for a total novice all day becauase it was a discount day. For those who don't know. this discount day does not include official instruction for novices. There will be a lead follow after there one and only instruction class in the morning, and then if available 1 of a hand full of instructors will sit in with you on one of your sessions during the day.
If you want I could instruct for you. I would HATE to be out there alone. As a novice you will be driving significantly slower which is fine. Everybody else in your group will be doing the same, so it will actually feel rather fast, since it technically is the fastest YOU are capable of going at that time. You want to spend that first day getting acclimated to this new environment and learning the line. In practice it seems harder for people to learn the line then they think as it is effected by your turn in point, how you brake, and how you press the gas on corner exit.
The novice i taught played nothing but video games and basically had no respect for how slow you actually go through turns. He would under brake for corners which made him want to early apex. I was happy to see him make significant improvements by his last session.
PM me, as I don't check this forum all too often
Erik, they shaved down all the new curbs with a chipper or something. I was driving all over them no problem at the last event. Although the very first day they were done (during the bmwcca event there) they were freakin sidewalk curbs and I stayed the hell away from them.
