About this event
SCCA Starting Line will be holding a Starting Line Driver's Edge School at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, IL on Friday, May 21st in conjunction with SCCA's Tire Rack Chicago Championship Tour. This three-hour Autocross Training Program is geared toward those new to Champ Tours. The SCCA Starting Line Driver’s Edge uses a team of successful autocross veterans who remember what it was like the first few times they pulled up to the starting line to make a run on the big stage of national-level competition.
In short, you’ll be given the tools and an explanation of the ins and outs of a Tire Rack Championship Tour event, with the information to conquer the event without the intimidation factor that comes with something new. Our instructors will walk you through the event supplemental regulations, talk about run/work assignments, teach you how the grid works, what to do at impound, and the information available to you at the driver’s information center.
Most importantly, our championship-level instructors will take you on a course walk to learn the nuances of that course and the standard elements you’ll most often see, and you’ll get professional instruction on the Test N Tune course to knock off some rust and improve your driving when official runs begin!
