Your Rally-X VPs would like gauge your interest in a Saturday school day to be held in conjunction with a Sunday event in March or April. Alternately, the school could be set up to run on Sunday following a Saturday event so that the prior day's problems are fresh in you mind.

If you have comments, feel free to express them. This is, after all, a forum. It's time to get folks back into the Rally-X mind set, so if you don't see your friends popping into the forum, send them an email to let them know they are missed.

The idea of school on a Sunday following a Saturday event is an interesting one. I have always thought of a Saturday school like practice for the Sunday event. I feel like I'd rather make some mistakes and figure them out on Saturday, so that I don't have to make the mistakes during the race on Sunday. :) But I would attend either way, just to get the seat time. :thumbsup:

Keeping in mind that drivers schools rarely use the same course on the day preceding an event as the actual event. A typical school attempts to provide practice for separate elements that you "might" see the next day, otherwise it would be called a practice day. I'm not pushing the school-after idea; it way just an out-of-the-box idea. There have been a few times that a fun run following the event revealed a much better way to handle a turn or course element.
Drive on,
Charlie Guthrie

I have never made it to a school, not that i havnt tried but SATURDAYS suck for me. It has just never worked out right.

I think if a school is done it needs to be the saturday before an event like autox. That way at the next event it is still fresh in your head.
