Thank you! Have Enough Instructors for Solo School

Post by Lisa Severy »

If you are qualified (i.e., have been approved as an instructor by the board, or have instructed in the past), interested and available for instructing at the Solo Novice School November 14-15, please contact me via e-mail through the Solo2 website. As in the past, you will get lunch and receive a complimentary entry into the practice on Sunday. I like to keep the ratio of students-to-instructor low, so that the students get a lot of time with their instructor, therefore, I am counting on a lot of our local talent to volunteer! Instructors will also be asked to pitch in w/course set up, and some of the other duties on Saturday in order to keep the event running smoothly and on schedule. I will be contacting a couple of individuals to do a "chalk-talk" segment during lunch, but if you have a topic for which you would volunteer to cover, please let me know that, as well. I would like to cover topics in the morning and lunch such as "preparing the car for tech and competition", "driver position", "Basic terminology and driving lines", and "suggested contents for the racing box", in addition to the general safety discussions at the drivers meetings. I would like to get the instructors confirmed as quickly as possible, so please let me know as soon as you can. For those who have instructed at these schools in the past, please let me know either way. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, in advance, for your continued support!

Sorry Lisa, that week's our 12 year anniversary, and Jill has made plans.
Complete with babysitters for the kids. Woohoo!

Not that I wouldn't rather be hanging with you guys, but...

I'd like to instruct again, if you like. A question: I'm not sure I can make the next day's practice; any way I could get some kind of credit for another practice, later in the season or next?

No, the free practice will only be the following day.
