Instructors usually are members of the sanctioning club (Porsche Club of America, MAC, Corvettes of MN) and usually are rewarded with track time, but they are fair about their business. AutoX days usually run 20-30 a day or 40 for TnT's. It's cheaper if you're a member of MAC/ MOWOG. And you'll always need to pay. But it is like an inexpensive education on what limits you can push your car to, while being in a somewhat controlled environment.

I'm an enthusiast who got lucky and was hired by a smaller motorcycle dealership in Shakopee. I am the Web Admin for Sales and Photographer along with Salesman. I started in parts and have a passion for helmets actually.



I also worked for AutoZone part time and one of my best friends is the parts guru at Burnsville Toyota/ Scion.
