Good, so far we have only 12 Vette's compared to 57 Porsches! We also have a handful of Ferrari's, a couple of McLaren's and GTR's and a slew of BMW's. Only 6 solo spots remain as of a few minutes ago, novice on wait list.

There are always a ton of Porsches at that track. They taste like chicken.

No worries - we will have plenty of instructors on hand, even if you are in the solo group. You can check with the registration trailer or send me a PM and I can provide details.

I thought I would just tape the F1 race and follow Lewis Hamilton's line.

I thought about signing up but even the reduced instructor rate of $400 is too much.

There are upcoming much less expensive opportunities to run COTA again.

Thanks for the reply. I know someone who ran the BMWCCA event earlier this year. He is a long standing member and indicated that it was very difficult to get in.
With some organizations the instructors are assigned two students - you only have one student with Chin. The COTA event will provide 2.5 hours per day per run group. The instructor fee is $400 per weekend, which equates to $200 per day to run for 2.5 hours in your group.
