Based on pre-registrations, a third of the drivers at the FF50th will be experiencing Road America for the first time. Road America can be learned in one weekend but it is fast and the walls are close.
We are thinking about “rookie” orientation. We have a great team of Formula Ford aces lined up to serve on the driver’s committee: Jim Harrell, Bruce MacInnes, Tim Evans, and Tony Kester. In some way, we’ll have driver coaching available: chalk talks, van rides, etc.
Another idea is to offer a “rookie” only track session on Thursday morning. If you would like a few reconnaissance laps before everyone starts rushing around, please ping me. If there is enough interest, this low-pressure session will be built into the Thursday morning schedule. There would be a small fee for this extra session.
In the meantime, please feel welcome to watch my YouTube lap of Road America with track notes. Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeL0wcGpLYg
