In some ways though I think this is unfair because you would have to fall in the "lucky" year to be able to have a chance to drive. When I was in high school we had new driver tryouts every year.
I drove for 1 year. It was...interesting  |
We do tryouts with the winner picking the rest of the drive team. Incumbent drivers stay on the drive team. The only time we really hold tryouts is if the current drivers want them, or if they're both graduating.
Which puts me in the position of being a 1st year driver my senior year. It would be nice for some multi-year continuity, but hey, at least I get to drive.
