Quote:What is the best thing to do with these students?
1. Keep them in Blue with an instructor in the car.
2. Give them to option to run solo in the Blue group (signed off to White with the understanding they will run in Blue until their car is set up better).
Good ?
I think it would depend on the driver and the situation. If they had the tools, seat time, correct mental state, and the skills for white but were in the middle of the blue group with speed, I would consult the track chair or a more tenured instructor for advice. MHO is that if we are mid pack in the blue group, the white group would not be a lot of fun. OTOH, some additional solo time might help this student. Perhaps a solo band after the 1st day or so of an event and stay in blue. Perhaps I would ask the student if I could drive a few laps with them in the white group in their car and see if it would help me help the student with a bit more speed.
Good ?
