Finger Lakes Region SCCA Region hosted one of their test and tunes on Saturday and Matt and Rob attended: Highly recommended for learning to go faster and plan for next year to go faster!
· FLR SCCA runs a ‘Test n’ Tune’ Saturday event before their Sunday autocross
· The course is the same each event. They paint where the cones go. So you can go back and try again on different weekend.
· Contains 3 elements that occur often in any autocross course up to the National level.
· Excellent on-site, free, friendly instruction by drivers who are competitive at national level.
· Lots of runs and great instruction: You learn how to learn to go faster. Stop guessing!
· Plan for next year – check the FLR schedule at: www.flr-scca.com – they typically run ‘Test n’ Tunes’ the Saturday before their Sunday autocross events.
Major upcoming events at the International Motor Racing Research Center:
1. Dinner with Zak Brown. Yes, that Zak Brown, the CEO of McLaren Automotive, McLaren Formula 1 team, and Arrow McLaren Indycar team.
2. Win a Chevrolet Corvette Z06/Z07!:
