Thanks for the heads-up. I'll make sure to get signed up. Seems someone else mentioned it to me recently and that they're in need of instructors.

Don't think I mentioned that when I was dropping off the Beemer at the shop Saturday, I ran across a familiar face. He said "Don't you drive the hell out of a Mustang at a couple of local tracks?" I confessed and it turned out he was a student of mine earlier this year or late last year. Drove a Saab. The only one I've ever instructed in.

Don't remember the model. But I remember being pleasantly surprised when I drove it. It acted more RWD than it had any right to. Little turbo-charged 4-banger front-drive. Despite being somewhat new to the hobby but not a complete novice, he was the fastest in his run group.

I don't know if it's luck or skill on my part or what, but more often than not, my students end up doing an inordinate amount of passing, resulting in my asking them to make sure they're first on the grid so we don't get traffic to deal with until late in the session.

Haven't heard back from the Audi club yet whether I'll be instructor or student at RA. Won't know until Monday, I guess, since I'm headed up to MAM for a Porsche event tomorrow. Which means a lot of my buds will be there, which means I need to get the cooler stocked up on Guinness.

I need to try to remember to bring all the Wimmer's brats and dogs I've got in the freezer, too, since I'd like to supply Sheridan's Grille this time around before these dogs get too old.

Sheridan, if you're reading this, could you give me a call tomorrow afternoon/evening to see if I remembered the brats before you go buy some?
