SoloPro school
« on: June 14, 2016, 08:48:36 PM »
I really highly recommend everyone give the solopro schools a go. Definitely worth the money for seat time and the 1 on 1 instruction and no other situation aims you to work on your skills instead of just trying to put a good time down like practice days.

I saw lots of people improving throughout the weekend!

Here is my video from the last challenge of the day, two laps around the course and beat the instructors time with no cones (I failed the no cones part :)

It really is staggering how much you improve in one day vs practicing/race day scenarios.  I moved one giant step further in my goals.  I learned more about car set-up, mental preparation, and pushing in one day than I had in the last year.  I actually hit both third gear and the odd cone!  Now if someone (seriously) could remind me to PUSH hard at our next event I'd really appreciate it!  :o :P :P :P

Thanks for the compliments everyone.  I think I can speak for Jeff as well in that we both had a good time and enjoyed the schools from the instructor's perspective.

Yes, we had a good bunch of students in the schools this year ... interested in learning and I think we fed some good solid food ... including some new stuff I have not taught in SoloPro Schools (nor seen or heard of elsewhere anywhere) before.... cutting edge as far as autox goes.  There were also some variations in course design that were new.   :)

As they are every year, both courses were awesome and well worth the expense. Thanks very much to Reijo and Jeff for all your efforts to make it happen!

I know it shouldn't really be a surprise after taking it so many times, but every time I take this course it totally shocks me how far I leap ahead in my driving level.

Amen to Nick's comments. It was fabulous. Third time for me, and I'll do #4 for sure next year.
