Most of the sessions have been booked on Saturday and I was wondering if anybody else would be interested in getting personalized coaching from the legend himself on Sunday.

@marusteri @hpde_addict any interest? This time it'll be a whole track instead of just a skidpad :P
What's the cost like for this? Is it separate from the regular track day session?

Also, is it dumb for a beginner to consider this? I'll be around most/all of that day but was planning to just watch and whatnot.

Cost is by session and separate from the cost of the track day itself. Quite the opposite from dumb for a beginner to get personalized coaching! It's like getting coaching from a school (Skip Barber, Porsche school, etc) but at a much lower cost and suited to you. One of my regrets when starting out was not getting an instructor. I honestly think I could've improved much faster instead of trial and error by myself which took much longer. We're currently discussing it in a Facebook chat and figuring out costs. If you're interested I can add you in.

I’ll let you know next week. BRZ is totaled, planning to buy a car on Sunday. I still haven’t graduated from the skid pad :P
