So what do you actually do, as a student? What are the different "clinics," per se?

You learn!

The exercises are: slalom, skidpad, launch/brake, turn and classroom... plus a full autocross course.

Don't overthink it, the less you know going in, the better!

Students will get some informational emails before the event once everyone is registered. Patience, grasshopper...

BREAKING NEWS! I may have convinced my mom to try AutoCrossing! I told her about the school and she was definitely interested. She'd have to drive my car, though. Tempting...

Honestly, she'd be better to drive something she's more familiar with, like your Honda.

I'll probably attend, really not sure right now, my friend is trying to convince me to go to sebring, hopefully there is space by mid feb, but there is always next year for that, and the instructional course would greatly help me.

To be clear, I was just wondering when you say a discounted entry for March 18th event. Does that mean the students pay $15 for the 18th event, or the $75 includes the event ? Just wondering.

Translation from Spanish to English:
"Oh hell no. If you're making me do this crap, I'm gonna drive the cool car."

So... Tempted... But then I can't do the school myself... Blah!

Students get a $15 discount for Sunday. They must pay the balance of their entry fee for Sunday, which is $15.

Just signed up my girlfriend. She's super excited and I'm excited to be able to yell at her when she does something wrong :snicker:

That yelling will get you in trouble later :nope: , but that just means more time to hang out with your friends :thumbwink: , so I guess it really is a win-win. 8-)

A have a friend who is looking to sign up, but MyAutoEvents only accepts payment for registration by PayPal. Due to a recent move, her account is suspended and must be validated by postal mail.

Is there any alternate way to make payment for the registration?
