Classroom is located in the barn looking thinc down by the tech shed, when its time for classroom just wander your way down there and follow the amsses, usually the easiest way to not get lost, or just ask around, people are nice enough to point you in the right direction. You have to go to everysingle classroom session, its your pass for tracktime, go to classroom listen to Dan (instructor) and he will give everyone a pass when classroom is over, this pass gets you out on track. DO NOT FORGET THIS PASS WHNE YOU LINE UP ON GRID, you will have to go back and get it before going out on track.
be at VR by 7:15am for the "All Hands Meeting", check your email for one from Sean Thompson, its an update of the event. Also you can go to http://www.nasaracing.net/VIR_Feb_07/event.htm
and they have downloads of schedules for saturday and sunday...
on saturday mornin your instructor will come find you OR they will meet you on the grid when u are lining up for ur first track session. More then likely you will have met them before goin out on grid ***.
