Whatever you do don't make extra work for any of the volunteers.

Mid-Ohio requires the region to pay for the garages in addition to the track rental. The region is then forced to rent the garages to cover the cost.

LSRPCA as Greg already mentioned provides instructors with garages at TWS, but they shoe-horn three instructor's cars into two garage spaces. It seems to work, and leaves some garage space to those on their toes enough to register early.

Do the regions that reserve garage space for instructors also waive the entire registration fee for instructors? Or do the instructors attending these particular events have to pay (at least a portion of) a registration fee?

Don't know the answer to that, but I certainly hope they don't have to pay for the privilege of riding with me and yelling brake, brake, BRAKE NOW!... followed by gas, gas, DON'T LIFT!

Groups that waive reg cost usually require two students per instructor, some just discount the track time. Garage assignments (for instructors) helps in meeting students thus avoiding the "morning panic" when a student cannot find instructor X and they miss a run session.

The shots were required for OUR protection Greg, not his, but I still doubt that Bull fully understands the concept of College Station.
