Default Instructors for 9/11 (Saturday) at LRP?

It's a NY metro event (CVR is the day before) and it looks like a couple people (our own BostonDMD's wife is one) are waitlisted due to (I assume) a lack of instructors. I'm there both days..

There will be a Bin Laden effigy burning party later in the day...

I am coming solely for the 9/11 rememberance party afterwards.......

if my wife gets in and drives I will consider it a plus........

Seriously though, if you are an instructor please consider coming on out and help out the several green and yellow students on the waitlist.......

I might do it, just need to sort out the noise issue with my car. Idles like a Lexus but for some reason reads at 90 decibels at the track. I'm assuming their checking noise?

On last Thursday, they black flagged half the instructor run group for noise issues. After being warned, I ran the rest of the day in 4th and 5th.....

I tried signing up as an instructor and was told all run groups are full. Oh well ... it would've been fun.

Not sure why they have students listed as "Waitlisted" if they won't accept more instructors...

Are you sure the event it not full for all groups and the waitlist is simply in case someone cancels? That would be my guess.

Nope, no idea Matt... that may well be it! Usually regions cry for instructors but this may not be the case here!

It looks like they have 30 instructors signed up, I would think they could probably allow a few more at a track like LRP......

Only 18 confirmed in Green with 8 students on the waitlist.......

I am guessing they are combining the Green/Yellow and White/Black groups in order to condense to 3 run groups and share the track with Club Lime Rock........
