The short answer is it's a PCA thing but not all PCA clubs are like this. There are many in our club who would rather instruct and pay 1/2 as much and only have 1 student. Most clubs that are free for instructors give them 2 students.
NASA costs a little more for students and you get a little less track time for DE because there is also racing at the same time. NASA NE is about $200/day -- partly because the tracks they run are so expensive (Thunderbolt and The Glen are the most expensive tracks -- I think Thunderbolt is the most expensive).
Quote:I'm new to this, with only one RTR event and one Schattenbaum event from late last year under my belt, but I plan on doing many more DEs along the way. So, as a newbie my question is, does NASA charge significantly more per participant in order for the Instructors to drive free?We've had lengthy threads about this, including a long one on Rennlist that I started. Please check it out -- I don't want to hijack this thread too much:
It seems that it's not just RTR that charges Instructors, but Schattenbaum does as well. Is it a PCA issue?
