I almost always give rides on my first two runs. Getting a ride is a great way to learn, both the course and what you could be doing better. I remember getting a ride with Nick Hansen one day and he went faster through a Chicago Box than I knew was possible by yanking on the steering wheel more than I had thought you should, based on the "slow hands, fast car" mantra I had been told. There are exceptions to almost every rule. Learning those exceptions is as important as learning the rules.
