Test and Tune?

stanbell · Post by **stanbell** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 9:11 am

Who would attend a Test and Tune coached by a nationally-competitive driver?

Because registration for the Evo Phase 1 school on Saturday, 4/2, has been light, we have opportunity to use our "spare" Evo instructor.

Here's the deal:

$100 for the day.

Evo-instructor coaching on effective test-and-tune methods, on car setup and what to change to correct handling faults.

Timed runs on the Evo Phase 1 course so you can evaluate the effect of your changes.

Open to 10 cars only to ensure lots of seat time and access to coaching. Two drivers tuning same car is ok.

Because we'll share the course, P1 drivers will have precedence on the course at all times. Starter will work to ensure reasonable access.

Tuners have to work the course alongside the P1 attendees, for at least 2 hours during the day.

Lunch on your own.

Not a cheap way to get into the phase 1. Groups will be operated separately. Test and tune coach will not provide driving instruction.

If you're interested, please respond. Feedback here will influence whether we go ahead.

I think it's a GREAT Idea!

And I'd take advantage of it, too.... except my car will be "otherwise occupied" at the phase-1, and I don't want to short-change Jeanie on this.

Stan, if you need an SSS, T&S, or Step-N-Fetchit - I'm your man; both days. I'm not going to run either of the schools, but intend to be there to help-out wherever I can.

excellent, Scott, thanks a million. I thought you were unavailable for the weekend.

have some other help, but sure can use you. Have Bud down for SSS, but he's participating in the challenge and I hadn't confirmed he's available saturday at all.

So if you'd be SSS and also provide your usual jack-of-all-trades, I would sure appreciate it.

Sara & I would be interested.

I'd be very interested in this BUT I have already committed to working on Saturday.

So... do you need the Saturday help more than you need another paid seat?

No worries either way, I was going to make next weekend's NEOKLA event my t-n-t.

I need to sort out the Watts and evaluate the adjustable bar but I know what I want / need to do and don't really need the coaching in that regard. I'm still fine with working on Saturday.

thanks, Korry. I appreciate the help.

I'm not going to make NeOkla #1, looks like Justin & I are going to the mineral wells pro solo.

My engine will still be in machine shop jail, otherwise I'd love to do this.

good news/bad news: good news, evo registration ramped up this last week; bad news, no "spare" instructor for test and tune, and now enough entrants that we couldn't guarantee a lot of track time.

maybe next year.
