FAQs
If weather or maintenance issues prevent operations at your scheduled time, alternatives will be discussed, such as rescheduling for a later time, choosing another tank, or picking an alternate date. Tank driving is weather permitting, and the team may have limited advance notice.
Manual transmission experience is preferred but not required. The M4 has a dual control, dual shift system, and your instructor can help if you are unable to handle the clutch and shift mechanism.
Wear durable closed-toed shoes with tread (required). Wear non-restrictive, flexible clothing you don’t mind getting dirty; you’ll wear provided coveralls over your clothes.
