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.

I'd like to instruct if you'll take me.

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.

Looks like I'll be back in town for this if you still need instructors.

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.

I would like to volunteer, I have instructed at several schools in the past.

I think I still remember how to drive.

Chris Lyon who is a past multi-time regional champ would like to volunteer also.

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