Jason,
No with my instructor there was no instruction. I had no idea what I was doing out there. Did not know when to brake, when to turn into the corner, how to turn out.. ETC. In spite of that I did learn how my car handles. Actually I learned more about getting around the track by reading the NASA book and Bob Bondurants book.
Some day I'll do it again. Maybe talk Gordon into being my instructor.
At the rate you are building it will be 2020 before it's finished. 3DSMILE:
How's the house coming along?
