I'd suggest reaching out to Doug or Adam.

I do not have a current confirmed instructor list so I am unaware of our current needs. In general though, we like to have more instructors than fewer. I would send Doug an email to find out.

Sure! You would probably end up helping shag cones though =)

And a "Show and Shine" is like having a cigarette.

I've been trying to find out why it's called "Show and Shine". Shouldn't it be the other way around? Or do you shine at the event?

I can't make it, so assuming you know what you're doing... take my place. Thanks.

Feel free to come out, although if you enjoy driving I'm sure this will interest you lol. If you have never done a performance driving event or anything before this is a great event to start with, you get a ton of seat time, and one on one time with instructors.

I ended up getting an e-mail right after I posted since I instructed previously so I'll be there.

registered to get some seat time, of course, I can always learn something new ...

Not sure,Woody, never made it to one, I think they frown on 3 wheelin' into your spot.

Noooo - say it ain't so Biggins! If you can make Adam a better driver, I was hoping you could work your magic for me ;-)

Anyone know what time the schoolbell rings? 8am - had to dig a little deeper, but found the schedule!

Wait what?? =p

I responded to the e-mail requesting instructors (in the affirmative), but I haven't heard anything back from anyone. So, how do I know if I'm on the list and expected? Is there an "official" list of instructors anywhere?

Thanks.
