Those schools have paid staff members. The reason that we can offer our schools at so little cost is that we are volunteer driven.
Asking instructors to volunteer for one day is acceptable; consuming a full weekend without compensation can rarely be justified.
I, however, am looking into planning a second school, more on a Test & Tune note. However, if planned, it will be at a significantly increased cost.
We have lots of ideas, just stay tuned to see what happens.

Katie,
Nice to meet you and thanks for posting the photos. What a beautiful day to play with cars. All the scraping of my airdam is making me consider larger sways...

I'd also like to thank all the people who put on the show Saturday. Honestly I wasn't sure I'd enjoy it at all, as autocross is way more intense/competitive than I usually care to get, but it was a great time. Everybody was having fun and being helpful.
I got plenty of good advice, but the but the best was this from Woody: "just go faster." So, I'll just keep trying to just go faster. This will be important because one of my goals is to catch Mike (the dude with the MINI), and he seems pretty darn fast The quest starts May 2nd.
On a side note, I put my M3 into the tire wall on the inside of turn nine at Summit Point this morning. Driver and instructor are OK, but the car now has battle scars (dented up drivers door and fender.) I was able to clean it up some and do three more sessions. There's mud everywhere inside the car. It could have been much worse.

Ron,
I think you'll catch me pretty easily. Most of my speed can be attributed to the car, and the rest was beginner's luck.
Oh man, I'm sorry to hear about Summit, but I'm glad you're OK. And the car doesn't look too bad either. It could have been a lot worse! Besides, dings add character.
By the way, what wheels do you have on your car?

Just to echo what everyone else has said, I really enjoyed and got a lot out of the school. The volunteer instructors couldn't have been nicer. A special thanks to Oker and Adam who both spent several runs with me. Thanks to Katie for taking some great pictures, and to all the club volunteers who enthusiastically put on a great show. Congrats to Mini man for putting us all to shame!

I hated seeing someone I had just watched have a blast at autox school then in the tires at T9.
Ron,
Here was that link and video I was talking about: http://www.nasaforums.com/viewtopic....c8e88fce9615c0
