What time would you need instructors at F-ville? I might just drive down and instruct on Saturday.


If you get there by 9 or 930 it would be good

With ~31 signed up we need a solid 5-6 more people. Sign up, or if you did please reply so we know who to expect. Thanks!


To tag on to this we will probably get more than the 31 listed students. They tend to sign up late. If we get 35 we need at least 18 instructors so come on folks, sign up to instruct it comes with a free autocross and I've heard that instructing will deduct 2 tenths from your fastest Sunday time.

Instructors, Please do your best to make this event. We are very tight on instructors (I kind of broke my own rule on ratio trying to drum up business) :oops: If you know anyone from other clubs or people that haven't signed up to instruct please try to convince them.

Thanks

Rob

I'm going to be there to instruct. Please don't make me instructor for Roberta Merrill. Marital bliss is counting on you.

You can't tell from the msreg entry list who is coming which day. (I assume the VPs & Registrars know) Anyway, suggest sending emails to non-novice entrants asking for volunteers to instruct, if we're still that tight on instructors.

BTW, are Dick, Keith and Chuck just messing with me? I don't see them signed up in FS.

Unfortunately, I have a conflict with this weekend. I always enjoy instructing novices, especially at last year's event, but I can't make it this year. :(

Updated to add....no one. Yikes! We are maxed out on novices at 40ish, but still need 5 instructors! Free lunch! Free event entry! Free driving on course during lunch! Free smooches from Rob's dog! HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY RESIST?????

Updated.
Instructors, please use Andy Hollis' 10 tips for novice autocrossers as your curriculum guide. Feel free to emphasize what you feel is important, but focus on looking ahead, finding the correct line, correcting oversteer/understeer situations as the main priorities. If in the afternoon your students have a good grasp of those basics then discuss with them what you like.
