Funny Hank!! Watch out though or the hooptie will leave paint marks. Just ask Mr. I will turn down on you in my BMW and now I have to go home guy. lol!! Damn I still feel bad about that.
What I meant was a few years ago I ran with a region from the western part of the state (can't remember the right now) and everyone other than instructors started the weekend with instructors. In my very first event I had a guy, Carl Geisler, who was a great guy and we had so much fun at VIR that weekend, but he was in White and yet still an instructor. I am not sure why there are these differences.
As far as promotion to the next level stuff is concerned I don't think it's a very big deal. When I started driving in the club it was so much fun and such a great bang for the buck I didn't care what run group I was in. At that time I was racing in the Skip Barber Dodge racing series and as I recall eligible to race in most events with any sanctioning body in the country. So IMO run group is meaningless. Just go out and have an awesome time and kearn as much as you can.
