    Many instructors on site as well.

    We have yet to decide if we will allow single sessions but will likely offer them. Instructor consultation is required to gauge experience.
    May/may not require an instructor ride along.
    Will be the head instructors determination.

    We will also offer instructor ride alongs with those without a car, & want to experence the track with a capable driver.

    In terms of doing the ride along stuff...you can ride along with a friend as long as you have the required helmet correct?
    Chicago is what you would get if Milwaukee had sex with it's sister. Said by a co-worker of mine arguing w/ somebody on how Milwaukee is better then Chicago.

    If they are running it like they used to it also depends on which group your friend is in. If they are in A or B (assertive or advanced) then they can take you no problem. If they are in C (intermediate) then they need to be signed off by an instructor to allow passengers. Not sure about group D (novice), it may be either totally restricted, or they may need to get signed off by an instructor.

    I would definitely push for potential single session runners to have an instructor ride along. In the spring I know there were a few, and they were a bit clueless on track. I think it was mainly because they didn't attended classes or meetings after the sessions.

    Also, is there someone I should get in touch with to confirm my group selection and to get a passenger sign off for the weekend?

    Ride alongs should be good for all groups, but the D group people will have an instructor sign off that the driver is good to take passengers.
    Some had moved up to C group, & they needed a sign off for passengers.
    I dont see a problem with those whom already have the experence taking ride alongs. Prior participants already have that experence if they obtained a sign off.

    Any single session participant will have to see the head instructors.
    If they've never been to RA an instructor ride along will be a requirement.
    But we also get people come up with plenty of experience for a single session.
    The instructors will make that call as to your level of experience.
    That & if in car instruction is required.

    Safety is the primary concern.

    If your registered now PM me your info & what group did you request?

    We will have the lunch time touring session again, single sessions & instructor ride alongs for those without a vehicle.

    MFBA puts on an excellent event, and I appreciate all the effort that goes into making these weekends great for all the participants. I'm just trying to pass back some feedback from the spring to make this fall event even better. I have nothing against single session runners, but if they attended an earlier post session meeting to introduce themselves to the group they'll be running in, or if they came to the post session meeting after their session it would be helpful.

    I sent over my payment but for some reason I am unable to submit my registration form via online. My paperwork will definately be in the mail asap. Sorry if that causes any problems.

    Can't wait for next Saturday! It should be a blast with the new tune and brakes!!

    I will be very carefull Dave. One eye will be on the road while the other will be watching intake temps after the blower. For some reason I have a feeling that I might have to do a few laps at 3/4 speed because she might get a little warm. Also I am hoping to have Turtle ride shotty so that will help a lot as well.

    That's the spirit! You will have a blast.

    As for the online registration. Yea it kind of sucks and never works right. I suggest just emailing Carmen at midwestfbody@gmail.com. Copy and paste all of your registration information into the email so that he has it. Otherwise you can just mail in a printed copy likely with all of the other waivers.
