Yup, I passed her a few times. We're all there to learn though, that's what these events are for!

I'm signing up for NHMS today. Can't wait to get back out there!

yes she was very slow but we know it's about learning and that BIG smile on your face not speed .
it's great that it seams your hooked now !
COMSCC is a great club IMO one of the best out there . great people and instructors .
if you get a competition license with COMSCC you can get one with any one .
I found it easier to get signed off with every one else (other clubs) when it comes to com they make dam sure your a good driver they don't just give out licenses to get worm bodies doing events .
when you get signed off with COMSCC it's because you earned it and are a good driver .

I'm not even going to try to get signed off for the time trials at NHMS. I'll do the HPDE, which will be my 3rd in 4 weeks. Then I'm doing the Skip Barber 3 Day Racing School on July 6. I hope to get licensed soon after, then I'll go back to Palmer with COM and see if I can get signed off to run solo.

Not yet. I know it's more expensive to rent but there's something to be said about showing up, driving and leaving. No maintenance, no storage, no trailer to haul, no costs other than the rental and no headaches when something breaks.
