Is there still a plan to have the intermediate school? Sounds very interesting to me, I'd LOVE to get some seat time, but haven't heard anything about it.

I went ahead and made this a poll. I can't see doing a school with less than 15 students and five instructors.

Keep in mind that the club pays the same amount of money to the site for one day or two ...

Maybe we should add another option for a test-n-tune / nationals practice / run your tires off day on Sat in case we don't get much interest in a school?

I'll be out of town until the Thursday before that weekend, so any and all help is appreciated!

I really... really need somebody to show me what I'm doing wrong. Launch, Left turn, Right turn, Left Turn, Shift, Brake, Right turn, Rev-limiter, Pivot cone, Chicago box..... need I go on? :lol:

I'm looking forward to the prospect of an IM class/day.

Please add this. :D A practice/T&T/do what you need day would be great. There would still be plenty of folks there willing to help others with specific problems. (cough, Colin, cough.)

I voted that I want to be a student, and it really should have been two votes, b/c my wife isn't on the forums (but is very interested in being a student).

Even if it turns out to just be a "run your tires off day" I'm interested.

The seat should be adjustable.

the seat is...but steering wheel fails to telescope...so either the steering wheel is too far, or the pedals are too close.

I spoke with a non-member who is interested as well (Maria, in the Silver new MINI S), so that makes TWO add'l interested students who aren't included in the poll (my wife being the first).
