you were counting me? I thought you said over email you wouldn't need me.

I CAN if it comes down to cancelling, I'd just rather not, but I don't want to be that guy.

Kevin Allen is signed up, anybody heard from him? I know he could instruct (and if I got assigned as his instructor that would be laughable).

What about Mike Miller, is he signed up as student or instructor?

Even if we don't have instructors, seat time is educational.
I'm seriously looking forward to getting the track time. Please don't cancel. :(

Both Kevin and Mike are testers for the NCAC. What email? Don't remember saying I didn't need you. If you can help, do. If not, that's cool. We'll make this work one way or another, but instructors would be great.

Instructors (Sorry, it was too easy :lol: ) There are 11 Novices signed up for an Intermediate school or on the wait list. I don't know for sure who all is there to test and who is there as a student, but of the 30 entrants, maybe 1/2 or more are novs/students. Right? If we cancel the school, how many people are we setting up a course for?

I will echo Rodney - Is there anyone out there who is willing to instruct?

OK, so here's the deal after talking w/ Dustin. My comment about instructors needing to only instruct wasn't correct (obama take back). Instructors will get seat time! We'll fit you in at lunch and have you take some runs as you can during the day.

Second, instructors are now offered 2 free events. This Sunday (event#7) and one to be banked.

We WILL not cancel the school. I guess I would consider this more of a test and tune now. Instructors can hop from car to car as students want advice. I'm sure the novice drivers will want more feedback. Intermediates may wany more occasional instructor help.

That help?

I can instruct on Saturday if it will help. I planned to come up to T&T a bit for NCAC. I assumed that the signup (limit 30) was only for the school. At least that’s the way I read it. Based on the T&T back in the spring I figured there’d only be six or seven there for that anyway.

Sounds good to me. I am planning to instruct more than drive so it works for me.

Thanks for all the time you have put in

The 30 entries covered both students and testers, so sorry if it read that way. If you can help instruct, that would be great!

ok, we're back up to 5 instructors, which is great. Brice, don't know if you are still on the fence, let me know. I can use at least 2 more instructors please for an even 7. Thanks to all that are instructing!

This *is* an intermediate school, so I don't think it's so bad if students get instruction for just a portion of their runs. I, like most, are grateful for the help, and there's plenty to practice on our own between instruction. We can share!

I could use the instruction, but if I'm cool with just seat time, would I be able to run (from the waitlist)?

I am with the rest. as much as I would love to have an instructer with me every time, I believe seat time will benifit me just as much.
