Logistics question:
- Does the Saturday School format support situations where 2 novices may be sharing 1 car?

If we have enough turnout to make 3 to 4 run groups, we should be able to accommodate shared vehicles for the school (no promises!).

How do you know if you are on the wait list or are in the school and practice? My name is listed on the entry list but the e-mail I received said I was on the wait list. Thanks, Kathy

Please recheck the site. You should be listed as confirmed.
The waitlist was used as we needed to ensure space for students on Sunday.

Actually, I dragged my feet a bit too long and wanted to see if I can get Matt into the school as a student (and perhaps Sunday practice if it's not all booked up). MSR has the front door locked, so I can't waitlist him. Although, at this point, maybe he should instruct and I should re-enroll as a student!George Schilling wrote:Perhaps Mathew can give you some pointers?

BIG THANKS to all who volunteered their time to help make this weekend a success!
Judging from many of the conversations heard around the paddock, all the students had a great time and some already have seemly been bit by the autocross bug!!!
Looking forward to see how many return next season!

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered and worked so hard to make the Novice School possible.
The event was so well organized, and the amount of seat time and instruction was amazing - thanks Bill : )
I really cannot thank everyone enough and I am looking forward to next season.
