Glad you had fun though, and full on HPDE 1-4 event would do wonders for you, you receive a log book in which your instructor writes down notes and as you accumulate more events under your belt, your instructors (hopefully) will start to check more things off the list of skills needed prior to applying for a license

Daniel I agree 100%, and was thinking the same exact thing as I was behind them. Thats what the instructors I had @ past events have said too; "look thru, them not at them, just don't drive thru them", lol. Thats why I posted about how I could tell when I was doing something correct by how the car acted/reacted. I was constantly telling myself to look ahead and could REALLY feel my line smooth out when I did, especially at the only left turn on the course.
