I made up a cool little graphic if anyone wants to spread it around. Even some additional text if you want to copy/paste it.

Need a little push up the learning curve? We've got just the thing! Registration is open through October 27, but entry is limited to 32 students, so don't wait! Details here: http://www.myautoevents.com/pls/mae/frm ... t_id=15019

FAST does an honest-to-goodness Novice School, teaching the basics of car control and race driving from the ground up with plenty of practice. Appropriate for autocrossers with little experience, first time autocrossers, and even fully-licensed teen drivers (no permits) who need to learn car control at a level beyond what can be taught on the street.

For the purposes of this discussion, That Guy is an esteemed alumnus of the FAST Novice School.

Some say his helmet is lined with tartan wool flannel, he smokes a pipe made from the scraps of burl left over from a Jaguar XK140 dashboard and stays up nights trying to design a car stereo that will play vintage vinyl R&B records through a mono tube amp. All we know is... he's the Stig's Hipster Cousin.

Thanks, Joe! And with that, we've got a full slate of instructors and workers.

We could use a few alternates (both instructors and workers) to have available in case anyone has any last-minute issues. And, of course, if you want to just come volunteer to help just because you want to be involved or you don't have anything better to do on a Saturday, we certainly won't turn you away!
