MSR Cresson this weekend 1/16-18

I'm interested in the school only this weekend, I have nothing better going on, short notice to consider it but I could make it work if the stars align. A couple of questions that I didn't find answers to via your link.

Regarding experience, I have 10 LeMons races under my belt, several on-track test and tune sessions, and also have attended and earned Solo run group status with the PDE folks at TWS. Is this sufficient for the SCCA school?

Please define the term "car" above. Does school participation require a car that would fully pass SCCA tech inspection? My prepped and ready track car was built to LeMons rules, has passed their safety and tech inspections, and raced in LeMons, and I'm sure there are minor differences in tech rules but I don't have the time to do extensive research and make modifications before the weekend. A quick read indicated my car would be considered "Improved Touring"

Is there any "checkride" component to the school where a passenger would need to be accommodated with proper seat and harness?

Also, I see a medical required to obtain license, it's very short notice to obtain before the weekend, is the medical a prerequisite for the school or can that be obtained later and submitted with application for license?

I'm not averse to reading the relevant rulebooks or guides if you can point me to their location.

 

We might come out & watch!

 

Thanks Keith. I'll spend tomorrow evening at the shop going through the cage stuff with a measuring tape. We built a great cage but only Lemons and Chump rules in mind. At first glance I can see a few things I'll need to do like install a window net. Maybe I can get my doc to fax me a medical, I was in there not long ago.

Either way, worth the exercise of familiarizing with SCCA rules. And even if I don't drag the car out there, maybe will come say hi.

 

I might be able to come out for a little bit after the FCA Dallas breakfast. I am
With Dave, wish I would have known earlier.

 

Shawn, I'll text you and let you know if I am headed out there. It may or may not be with my car. Depends if I get some things installed.

I am being told by a buddy who has been through the MSR-H SCCA license schools that the SCCA school at MSR-Cresson this weekend is being offered at a significantly lower cost than the ones held at MSR-Houston. I wonder what the difference is, or if I am misunderstanding something.

 

If you're in town and have time, we're going to Elm Fork to make noise with our new toy this weekend.....

 

OOOH, what did you get???

I LOOOOVE sporting clay shoots!!
Well, I like all things that go "BANG!!!"

 

Dang it. This isn't gonna happen for me this weekend.

Keith, how often does this 2 day school format happen? Annually?

 

Thanks for the heads up on the event it made for a nice day with Giuliana & my dad! It was her first SCCA event ever! Lol.

 

Interested in knowing when next SCCA school at MSR might be. And the difference between "school" and "super school." When I looked last week I didn't see any other "super school" on calendar.
