Well, yeah, but I would have to charge 10x just to pay for the track, which might limit how many actually show up.

We had great success with Pat at MSR. Even he said it was an excellent high eld skills development/training track that is also pretty much 100% safe (grass runoff). And it is inexpensive.

If this goes well, and there is pent up demand up east, we might look at NJMP or Monticello, neither of which charge Glen rates AFAIK...

I understand Dave, unfortunately it is just too long of a haul to Texas for the North East guys.......

Hopefully you can get something set up at NJMP, very nice track with many NE racers willing to pay to gain the extra edge......

I will try. I like NJMP and the Schattenbaum folks I met there last June.

OK, so as an aside, how many folks would be interested in 1 or 2 days of this at NJMP? Weekdays of course. Same concept, same Tommy & me, and maybe a few other players like Larry Herman, Bob T, etc to help out in car?

Well, Texas is only about 1000 miles from here.
Closer would be better.
Inde Motorsports Ranch, Chuckwalla Valley Raceway, or Spring Mountain Ranch and I'd be there.

Texas I'd consider.

OK, so maybe we do 2 of these: Texas and NJ.

If that goes well, we can look at west coast like Spring Mountain, Inde, Reno Fernley, etc.

Dave, been thinking of getting you out to chuckwalla, three day open track is a standing offer there. Miller is another option...

I'm interested. Whats the pre-reqs for the clinic? I probably need a clinic before your clinic. If you ever do think of Calif., BRP has over 25 configs and weekdays cost around $5k iirc.

Pre-req's are solo/solo advanced driver at least. This is not for beginners by any measure.
