chbix - if we can get 20 peeps or more together things like flag's and stuff and be done by 10 or so people waitting for another session. if you split the group depending on how many show up into 2-3 groups it will give cars/people cool-down time and they can hit the flags/cone work out on track. just one way to save a few bucks.
when i was at fontana instructors are something like 75 bucks. i only went a few weeks ago and i got an instructor so i know first hand what will be introduced to new drivers and how to drive around the track safely. not that i am a instructor or even auto-x pro but i can show people the basics of the do's and do not's.
also people might have to buy a helmet for those of you who have never done track work before it very well could be track policy. if you want to run out and get one at your local motorcycle shop that may not be good enough concidering auto helmets are different from motorcycle. (investigation into helmet and track policy is a must) i got a open face helmet DOT certified for $100.
also tech-inspections are a must, cars need to be in tip-top shape.
it may be a good thing that all of this information is introduced now so we can plan for a good day with people ready to have some fun on the track!
