Thanks Matt.
I will be in San Diego teaching Street Survival for the SD BMW Club...

I am considering a new idea for this season.... something I am calling COach-drive.
Normally I offer to ride, coach and drive during afternoon RNP sessions. This year I am considering doing that as my only participation. Every event I would COach-drive with a different driver/car.
This would work however the driver wanted, me driving first to warm tires and give them a feel for the course at speed, or them first so I could critique and then give an example. Further coaching could be in-car or post run depending on how the driver wanted and you would be welcome to ride on all of my runs.
It would also include a guided course walk and discussions on car prep, tire pressure, Pyrometer testing, etc...
I might even do this twice a day if there is interest.
I am not asking for anybody to pay for this, but it might give me an opportunity to participate despite my self imposed $0 race budget without having me feel obligated to pitch in on tires, gas... Still not sure I can justify the $25-35 entry fee+gas to/from though. Would you actually pay something for this?
This is just in the idea phase, so thoughts, feedback would be appreciated. Of course, it would be open to all drivers, not just Subaru drivers...
Of course, I would continue to help everyone out as much as I can, not just the person I am driving with, but they would be my focus. Time permitting, I would probably still give group course walks, etc...
What do you think?
