If you guys don't need me to help with event coordination, I'd be happy to instruct.

I'm in the '10 Mini now, but I've driven two RWD cars too. I've got 3 yrs experience.

Just a point of clarification. It is a two day school, so instructors are needed for both days. Sunday isn't a practice.

I will instruct novice students if you'll have me. I have 3 years experience, mostly in a Porsche 914. I'm currently in the Berry STX BMW 325. I've codriven cars from SK2 (RX8) to BS (S2K) to STU (STI) to FP (914-6), so I've got ST and RT experience. If there's anything I'm profoundly lacking in it's FWD experience. I'll forward this info to Jason as well. Thanks.

July 16-17 @ El Toro - this is a two day school. You will most likely be able to drive some on Sunday, but the schedule is not final yet.

BTW, if anyone's interested, I do have an Autocross Instructor's Guide in html format on my website. It's not comprehensive or authoritative because it's still a work in progress (and I'm not a Nationals level driver). That said, I'm always looking for feedback on how to make it better. Contact me via e-mail or PM if you want the URL.

Chris would like to be assigned to FWD cars as he is most familiar with them. For me I don't care.

Hey Jason,

I'd be happy to come out and help, but I can only make it on Saturday. Let me know if you need me.

This is my second year with SCCA auto-x; I was active with PCA in San Diego in 2002 or so.
