Overall I personally like HPDE better. But AutoX would be a good start to, its probably a bit safer, and its cheaper. More room for mistake. If you go the HPDE route, you could jump in with the group that normally goes. I am guessing Rob will be going later this year... sadly I will only be able to do one =/ EDIT: you could always come to the May HPDE event (or any other) if you are not doing ZDayZ... and get an incentive ride from someone. Thats what I did my first time. Got me hooked instantly. You just walk down to the pits and ask for a ride when the more advanced groups go out. |

The important thing to know about AutoX/HPDE is that you go at whatever pace you feel comfortable and can handle. You don't have to have a certain skill level to be able to do them. If you want to go really slow, you can do so. Just signal for anyone stuck behind you to pass and you can continue at your own pace. The idea is to start from wherever you are and slowly build speed as you get better and better. |
Thanks, guys. I'd love to talk with you about your experiences at the next meet.
|
Are you going to the AAM meet this Saturday? I will be there.
|
Barring unforseen circumstances, I'll be at the AAM event this Saturday. Should be fun and informative! I've never seen their facility before.
|
i think one of my calipers is seizing... but aside from that (or if i dont get the parts in time) i may go.
|
It's really nice and a lot of nice cars as well.

So, my recommendation? Try a little AutoX or two. Then move up to HPDE. |
Or just learn on the street like the pros did. :)

Just depends on what you want to "learn". For instance, oversteer/countersteer is NOT something you want to really practice on a narrow, tree-lined road. But, you COULD practice "finding the line" at almost any speed. I ALWAYS do that when taking on and off ramps, personally. |
On and off ramps are also good for maximizing your drift style points.
