Just my experience, but there are occasionally some poorly run track groups that are horrendous for a beginner. They literally just throw beginners on the track and will only casually suggest an instructor as an option. I am guessing they expect everyone to already have experience.Interesting - reading between the lines - are there actually groups that let a 100% newbie run without an instructor?
Never heard of such a thing.
Generally you have to "earn" solo and then of course "earn" intermediate.
Heck even after 20 track days and SCCA racing I still want an instructor the first time I go to a track.
You cut your learning curve in half or better.
And last thought - if they insist on "class" I guess just suck it up but don't expect much. Just another shi$#y meeting the devolves into nonsense. Most groups have dropped them I think? I'm pretty sure all have for Int. and above?
I accompanied some first timer friends to a track event where they did this. I was worried for my friends' sake--that they weren't really learning how to drive safely and they were basically beginners without instructors. I spent the day unofficially instructing them but I was just one guy and there's only so much I could do.
