Local resources include the Master, "Duck" Waddle (seriously, that's his name), thirty-plus year Skip Barber instructor and Road America legend.
Also, Gregg Borland of ArmsUp Motorsports is a great local resource. http://www.armsupmotorsports.com/contact.php
Bart Wolf, of Elkhart Lake, is also. http://wolfmotorsport.com/

+1 for Duck Waddle.
I was trackchair for the Chicago PCA events at RA for over 10 years, and Duck taught our novice groups every year. Hope his still there.

Duck is "Instructor Emeritus" for Road America. Call the admin office and they can get you information for him.
Hard to believe, but I had not been to RA before May 2007. I went, took a ride with Duck (we raced together in Fiat-Abarth powered sports racers, he in a Bobsy, me in a Beach) putting out cones for the weekend and it was the most fascinating 45 minutes I ever spent. His global and local knowledge of RA is intense and extensive, plus he's funny as hell. Oh yes, I won the race in a forty-car field....
"You draw 'em a picture, and they eat the crayons..." Duck Waddle, commenting on the creative ways some people interpret driving instruction.

After the session Duck says "I saw that death wiggle. Told you not to lift at the kink. I guess you believe me now."

how so?
and for the record, my home course for a few years was the Gateway roval, which I actually enjoyed (some HATED it, I liked the high speeds and short lap times). but I wouldn't put it on my list of favorite tracks.
