![]() ![]() Most students had their radio settings pretty far off of what I would recommend, so the drivers were all smiles driving their cars after having them tuned in better. We went over radio setup, speedo setup, basic car setup, and car maintenance.Īfter personally checking out every drivers car, I was able to dial them all in a little better. All the students were able to learn things that they didn’t even realize were an issue, and fix them all. Consistency was the key thing I wanted to help with.Īfter each practice session, we would do a clinic. Every session the drivers were doing more consistent laps and even turning faster laps. It was great to visually see what they needed to work on, explain it to them, and see them try to adjust it the next lap. It was also a nice time for everybody to bond a little and talk about racing, what they have learned, and just the typical RC bench racing talk that goes on at the tracks.ĭuring the practice sessions, I would be on the drivers stand and personally watch and coach each driver while they were driving. Pizza, veggies, Oreos, sweet tea and water. ![]() JTU also provided all the students lunch. The drivers could ask a question, and I could explain. I would do a couple laps, then explain why I do certain things. All the students went up on the drivers stand to get the perfect view. We talked about the lines, and I was able to show them what it should look like. Racing is not all about one fast lap, I wanted to see all the students drive better lines around the track, and drive more consistent, crashing less.Īfter all the students hit the track once, I did a driving demonstration. The sessions after that were to focus on the techniques I would talk about, and to get consistent laps. The first session was just basic driving lines, mainly focused on braking. Each driver would get four 7 minute practice sessions with me watching and coaching each driver. Braking points, acceleration points, and where you car should be on the track.Īfter learning the proper lines, it was time for all the students to put their brand new AKA SS Chain Link tires on their cars, and hit the track. I went over the different styles of turns and all the different lines around the track. Next on the agenda was to walk the track and learn the obstacles. I went around and showed each student the proper technique of how to glue them. AKA has become a great partner in JTU and provided everybody with a set of the new SS Chain Links. The first thing we did as a clinic, was learn how to properly glue a set of tires. ![]() There were three groups of five drivers for the practice sessions. We had 15 students, and it worked out perfect.
