Checkered flag racing requires you
to have someone invite you. After you run
there is a survey sent out to all members to
see if the driver was safe, courteous etc
If approved then you can become a member
Then you can earn a race license if you want

Similar to Nasa but in a smaller sense. One of my Pantera
buddies runs with Nasa but in his supercharged very fast Nsx
out of Arizona. He is an instructor, class winner and really likes the group

When I ran in Texas with our Pantera group we combined with Drivers edge on the
Texas World Speedway track. I was not allowed to run at first in the top group
and required to have an instructor for a couple of sessions. At first I was a little pissed but when I went out with the instructor he showed me a few lines I would not have used. Next secession on my own I worked on what I learned
Third session he helped me tune a few areas. With over 50 track days and
multiple years of Autocrossing I found out you can learn something new
every time you run
Next session I was one of the fastest in the group They came to me the next day saying I could move to the top group. Problem was it started raining and never quit. Still a great memory running the big banked track
