NG drivers will participate in classroom sessions covering track driving concepts, flagging, etiquette, and more. Also there is track time to practice what you have learned with lead-follow. When you are ready, you will be signed off to solo. This will also earn you a SCCA Time Trial Novice license.
- The Enthusiast Group (EG) is for those who have been signed off to solo and would like to have some time to practice before they start Time Trial competition. It is also for those who wish to get out on track for the fun of it without being in a timed competition.
