I will most likely be out instructing and the weather looks like it's going to be terrific.

I've wanted to do something like this for a while, haven't had the chance yet though. Any future sessions?

Nice! I posted in there.

IRDC (Seattle Area) and CSCC (Portland) are two member clubs of the ICSCC. The ICSCC is made up of 5 member clubs (1-canada, 2-WA, 2-OR). Doing instructions days with these clubs is the absolute best bang for the buck. Several of the racers in these clubs also compete in professional series like the Continental Challenge, Pirelli World Challenge, Daytona, etc.. and you can have a top caliber instructor/racer with you for the day for pennies on the dollar.


Here is the ICSCC schedule for 2013. Any day that says "DRIVER's TRAINING" is something you should try and attend. Next to the event lists the date, the club hosting it and the track it's at.
