Just not for Nationals.
I was selected as one of the finalists for the Mustang Challenge Driver Shootout taking place the week before the NASA Nats.

I will gladly take any tips that might help speed up my learning curve.

Congratulations!!! The more ponies the more fun MMP can be. Which course? 4.5 or 3 mile.

This is only my opinion, I am sure others have theirs. The 3 mile course is the least technical, the 4.5 has a few more turns that will require more time to learn. So it's very basic, find your best turn in point to get on the gas asap and hit your apex every time and if centrifical force doesn't put you on the edge of the track out point, just keep going faster till it deoes. Learning the track is pretty easy, learning how fast you can go will take a couple of sessions, it's one of those tracks that after a turn, you say to yourself, I could have taken that faster (or not). After you can do that with every turn, it boils down to the person that makes the least mistakes, will probably win.

Good Luck!

Not sure which configuration they are going to use. Lots of great info, THANKS!
