This is still alive - barely...I'll get back to you soon.

Misty - call me when you get over the Ford GT high.

I'm still in, let me know the details. I have about 1 weekends worth of tires that I need to destroy at some point.

OK - Misty has called in and she would love to help us with Rookie Day/Weekend. Although I got very generous offer from two different tracks/venues, I just don't feel that we would be able to have a high enough car count to make it reasonably priced for the individuals.

So, what I propose is that we invade Misty's TWS track day event the weekend of Dec 12-13. Depending on the numbers we get to attend, Misty has agreed to either mix us in with another group or possibly give us our own run group. "Rookies" or any others wanting to learn about what we do as CMC/AI would be paired up with a "Veteran" for in-car instruction, lead-follow on the track, side-by-side drills, possibly some classroom discussion, Todd Covini's Evolution of a Pass demo (he doesn't know that he's being volunteered yet), bench discussion and just general question and answer sessions while we are not on track.

Cost would be the regular track entrance fee of $295 for the weekend for the "Rookies/Students".

What I need now is a list of who is interested in attending as a "Rookie/Student" and who is interested as a "Veteran".

The whole idea here is to help the newcomers with any questions or issues they may want help with: improve track comfort level, improve car prep, improve event prep, improve event knowledge, licensing, etc. I think we had an official mentor program 5 or 6 years ago, but quite honestly, everyone who has been around is more than willing to help the newer folks at any time during the events or on the forum and the official mentor program seemed to dissolve away out of lack of necessity. This will be an opportuninty for that help to be more focused than during a regular race weekend.

Respond here please so I can build the list.

Rookie - All help needed!
I wasn't planning to do any more events until next year (trying to save cash for basically all new safety gear) but I would be on board for this, especially since it is in my backyard. It keeps the costs down for me as much as any track day could.

vet; whatever is needed.

How about $250 for the weekend for AI/CMC rookies and future rookies?

I'm in as a ole' rookie. It would be great help for myself and appreciate everyone's interest in bringing new (I didn't say young) racers along.
