This is a great school. I attended it back in it's infancy (1979) and have since been an instructor (back in the 1980's). A novice will pickup a years worth of experience in one weekend. Slots are limited so don't wait to sign up.

The two-day format is kind of cool. I'll be instructing again at the CCSCC autocross school and test and tune in Rantoul on the 18th and 19th. I may just sign up for your school to see what your event is like.

Our school is just one day and we split it into beginner and novice groups. Beginners are about two to three drivers per instructor and advanced students are one on one. The second day is a regular test and tune, but instruction tends to continue that day as well.

Geared for newbies

The school is designed for students with no or very little autocrossing experience. They have allowed experienced drivers to enroll if thay are in a new car that is very different from a previous model. Extreme example was a kart kid going to Dad's Corvette.

You can email them and ask if you can register.

You can also volunteer to help and you get to run on Sunday, that is only if they need volunteers.

Dude, Mr. Pockets is totally a ringer. He didn't pick that name for nothing. He makes bets with poor, hapless, unsuspecting novices to fund his autocross habit. This is like his primary funding season.

Actually, it would be interesting to attend just to observe. That may be what Nick (Mr. Pockets) is after.

I'm tempted to attend just because I drive like a <1-year novice.

More seat time never hurts. I'll see you out there.
