NUMBER ONE RECOMMENDATION: *Bring CREW....I generally pass around a
list for the "crewless and clueless". *But as a newbie, you NEED the
help, and the retrieves!


In the meantime . . . You could offer to crew for a competition
pilot.
You can learn much about procedures, rules and racing techniques just
listening at the pilot briefings and the pool-side debriefings.
By listening and observing, you can also figure who are the mentors
and who are not.
