Eric,
Not sure which instructors you are referring to, but some have taken up club racing and balance their budget/time accordingly. I try and make most of the RTR events, but starting next year will have to make more decisions based on DE versus racing. I do not see the problem as too many students and not enough track time. Other clubs give you two students at every event where RTR does not. You may get a little more track time at another event, but not more than one run ( and that is rare). Clubs see instructors come and go all the time. One significant factor is the glass ceiling effect. Getting better, faster at a certain level becomes difficult and frustrating. I have suggested bringing a pro instructor in for that reason. We tried this at the November event and hopefully will continue it next year.
