Default Spring Mountain questions

Are they allowing shorts to be worn while driving on track? I have seen some guys in shorts in the posted pics.
How about short sleeve shirts?
Are the C7 seats the competition seats?
I would assume so. I ask because it's just harder for these old bones to get in and out of those seats.

Shorts and tee shirts are the normal dress. The seats were the standard seat in July 2014. Just have flat souled shoes for the heel-toe excerises.
You don't need racing shoes. Helmets are provided.

Comp and GT seats are available, for variety sake and they know some people want to try stuff out. Either way, they aren't really all that more firm over the time you're in the car (20 min sessions ish). And wear whatever the hell you want, as long as it doesn't include sandals.

They had both style seats when I was there. I tried both and ended up ordering my car with GT seats after the class. I felt they fit me better AND were cheaper. I do love the look of the comp seat, but it didn't make sense for me to get them.

p.s. Make sure you take all 3 days!
