Default 1st timer at VIR Green Group 1st run

Friday I was just able to do one Run, This is my 1st run Sunday. After this run I went solo and the third run the Green and Blue went out at same time. This are the comments I got from the instructor

"Its OK to be more aggressive"


Comments are welcome

Once you got clear of traffic it looked good. With a damp track, in a non-competitive DE, I can fully understand being less aggressive.

Looks like people were still learning the correct side to pass/point!

Your instructor would make the call, or the instructor in the other car?

I assume it's up to the other car to give the point by, then your instructor to say OK.

Nice run! Glad you had fun after having to deal the alarm snafu.
Looks like your DE career is off to a good start.
