NASA is offering an exciting new
program to make your HPDE experience even more rewarding. Many of
NASA's experienced racers have volunteered to act as Mentors to
participants in the HPDE program. Mentors will act as a personal
resource for any questions you might have regarding your NASA
experience, from event procedure (where do I go, what do I do?),
to car setup, to driving technique.
The plan works like this:
When you sign up for the HPDE (or anytime after you have signed
up) let NASA know you want a Mentor. NASA will match you with an
appropriate Mentor from the list, and give you your Mentors E-mail
address, or phone number. You contact your Mentor. The two of you
work together any way that's comfortable for both of you. It's
that easy, and there is no fee for the service, but I would
recommend a hearty thanks to your Mentor!
Mentors will be allowed to take their protégé on one group 4
ridealong during each event for which the protégé is entered (in
the Mentors car), and Mentors are always welcome to ride with
their protégé in any of the students sessions.
