Default Streets of Willow- Friday

I would like to attend this event Friday through Sunday. On Friday, the POC cannot gaurantee me an instructor because not everyone takes off work on Friday for a short track event. Is there a POC instructor that will be at Streets of Willow tomorrow (Friday) that would work with me. Please let me know as I need seat time, and would like to run the extra day. Thanks,
Michael

Yeah, John, I've been monitoring the forecast all week, too, and the probability of rain keeps increasing. I know Willow has its own way with rain and many times it won't rain there at all even though it's raining everywhere else. However, I will be keeping a close eye for tomorrow as I had originally planned on just going on Sunday. I'll be driving on my MPSCs so I want to make sure the commuting conditions are going to be relatively safe (light rain). If it's raining too much then I may just sit this one out.

So Mike, John if you're there Sat, please look for me so we can meet. I don't think I'll be too hard to spot, stock black 97 carrera.

Great time at Willow yesterday too. Maybe 20 of us. So much seat time you could not take it anymore. Loads of fun and experience. And thanks for lunch Michael! Also took a ride on the track in a 944 GSR race car, turning in the mid teens. Very different (but exciting ride) from our 993s. Have fun this weekend guys.

Thanks, Slappy. I just called the office @ Willow and asked them about the conditions. Right now (1:45pm on Saturday) the weather is clear, so it should be fine for tomorrow. See you all there.
