OK, it's that time again when I bring a call to all of you experienced autocrossers to come out and teach our novices. These folks will be the nucleus of our club for years to come and you could be the one who starts them on the path to stardom.

The more of you that sign up,the more students we can take in. Not only does this make money for the club, but more importantly it starts them off right and allows them to progress much faster than they could without instructors. Look around you and see all the former students who have gotten good. (or look in the mirror).

Finally, as the last enticement you will get free entry into the autocross on Sunday.

Sign up on MotorsportsReg ASAP. The more of you that sign up early the more students we can enroll.

Thanks in advance

Rob

registered.... BTW, will there be an official hotel? Still have a few weeks, but might be nice to have that listed so we can get a good room rate.

For the first event we had a block at Comfort Inn, it was only a $5 discount on the room rate though. It's pretty nice and plenty of places to eat around the hotel. The advertised rate usually looks to be around $89.

Yep, we always do. The more instructors the more students we can take and the less stress on instructors

I just signed up to instruct. I'm pretty excited about it. Hope to see some Chicks at both the Novice School and the Chick School in May! :car:

At the Mustang club meeting last week, a newcomer approached me about autocrossing. He called me tonight to confirm our website address and said he wants to attend the autocross school. He just bought a 2015 Mustang GT, so I'm wondering if Dick will be one the of the instructors.

Signed up to instruct but failed to get signed up for Sunday. Sent a note to the registrar since it won't let me change anything myself, but I am planning on running Sunday.

If you guys do a Novice Event Registration School, I'll not offer to instruct. :D

See everyone up there.

Looking forward to this weekend. So asking again, do we have an event hotel lined up? Need to book...
