Lessons from other regions/sponsors?

[Brian Minkin]

RTR's policy is to place people they do not know in instructed groups.  This is for everyones saftey and the fact that many will exagerate their experience just to get in,  playing their cards that the upper run groups are not filled. We will only place a person in the upper run groups with certification from their clubs cheif instructor that they are qualified to be there.  I think getting such certification is rare.

I can not remember any out of region or other car club event that I attended where I was placed in a particular run group based on the car I was driving.  I have always had to have a check out ride with an instructor to verify my driving skills regardless of stated experience. Yep, even this year as a Nationaly Certified Instructor I still needed to be checked out to run solo and get an invitation to instruct with that region.
