Der Gasser- Letter to Editor

[Brian Minkin]

New instructors are selected and trained every year.  This is what got us to the 1 student per instructor level a couple of years ago.  Now we no longer get enough instructors to have a 1 to 1 ratio even with the new recruits.  As I said earlier we need to find out why instructors have stopped coming to events and this data will help the speed council make recomendations to address this.

For me the cost of tires, brakes, fuel as well as maintaince costs to maintain a dedicated track car far exceed the cost to register for the events.  This expense did cause me to cut back on track events this year but it was other regions who suffered the loss of me as an instructor as I have participated in all the RTR events except the Lightning event.  For that event I was the Zone 2 DE chair at a VIR event and could not attend the RTR event.
