Tony,
I understand the parade laps; similar to what WGI does with a vehicles "pacing" the group front & back to make sure no one get too zealous. I was only trying to suggest reviving the "ride in an instructor's car" along with continuing the "DE Experience" might be other fund raising ideas.
I guess something to work out would be what type of vehicles would be allowed on the parade laps. At WGI I've seen vans, pick-ups and the occassional motor home. Since WGI collects the $$ and paces the laps they get to set the rules. I don't know Pocono's stance on the track while we rent; can we facilitate the laps or is it something that they would want to do... I've no idea.
To point however, if we're allowed to do parade laps, I know I would donate to MAW for the chance to show someone the track from inside my car. I am sure I could get people to the track just for a couple parade laps.
I'd probably create a line just with people I know if there were opportunities again for spirited rides in the right seat of an instructor's car.
