Steve, Todd's new rules (part of insurance reqs) indicate no passengers unless you want them to ride with an instructor. FYI. Unless, you are signing your son up for driving too which could be fun.

Icerbofh,
Kary's offer to show me around applies to the POC/PCA huge event at California Speeday the previous weekend (May 15th). Its at that event that there will be "parade laps" at lunch to get folks a chance to drive on the track. No helmets or saftey gear, so not very fast. But it'll be fun to get out on that banking.
You are correct about passengers at Willow Springs. I believe its a track rule, not a "host" rule. My son is a LONG ways from getting either of our cars on a track, especially a fast track like Willow.

Steve,
If your cell phone goes off during a run, you're supposed to glance at your instructor , preferably in a fast sweeper, and ask "Mind if I get that?"
(Apologies to whoever posted that they did that , but it cracked me up)

That would be me 
Last Saturday I'd told a couple of other instructors about that gag from my first DE weekend four years ago, and they said, 'So YOU'RE the one!'. Apparently that story had made the rounds at our club, but the guilty party had been forgotten.

As far as keeping the car pristine, I basically tape the crap out of it. Won't help with big rocks, but does help with cleanup and keeping little crap away. As you can see, I use a bra on the hood, but I put microfiber underneath it, then tape it down with high temp painter's tape. I also tape the wheel wells with 2 layers...green super high temp (since rear wells get so hot from exhaust), topped with a second coat of the blue. The 2nd coat is for extra protection, but also because the neon green is so damn ricer.
What you can't see is the Invinca-shield near headlights and all over the nose. I'm considering mirror bras for the mirrors, depending upon the results from another post.
