Graham,
Good to see you here on this thread.
I made a statement in a response to Chris's post. I wasn't sure if you have ever asked (and I don't mean in passing or as a joke) to attend one of these meetings? I know you haven't asked me and Myles couldn't recall you asking.
But, if you want to understand what and how they did it, it's all pretty simple. We start with the past event and discuss any issues that came up during the execution of that event. We talk about problem students. We talk about problem instructors. We talk about you.![Big Grin Big Grin](https://rtr-pca.org/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
After we talk about the prior event, we discuss the next event. For example tonight we talked about the Thunderbolt event and the accompaning MAW activities. We discused the increased participation and the proposed instructor/student load. We discused the start and stop times. We discused the order of run groups. We discused when to distribute t-shirts and so on.
We also discused the instructor banquet and contacting the tracks to see what was available for 2010.

I'm not a big fan of certain tracks, but I'm not sure that I would want them changed - even Jefferson. Experience on a wider mix is better than going to the same circuits all of the time. Since Mike is already on the Speed Council, I assume that his input is already visible in the tracks we've seen over the past few years. I would like to hear what changes Graham recommends.
