As a driver for two years, (now entering my third), I agree that a one time event is not really the most productive way to go about it. My idea tryout includes a bit of practice with the base, because let's face it, even the veteran drivers are handling an unknown. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, and several other factors, it comes down to 1 do-or-die 2 minute match around an obsticle(sp) course. Then the finalists are weeded down, and a second run is done. Left with 3 drivers and 2 human players, the next week of practice comes down to who is the 'primary' crew, and who will be the alternates. We select our crew anonmously, by numbers to insure some degree of fairness, and conduct interviews just like a job. There are other factors, but I can see this post is really beginning to drag on! :-)
