ShelbyGuy said:you join a member club, then apply to the club steward to be in the school. the school consists of an 8 hour classroom session (probably at the ramada right there at the offramp) and a day at blackhawk farms. basically if you're there for the autocross school, you can leave at lunch. I stayed for the wheel-to-wheel classroom stuff even though I dont own a racecar. the track day was pretty much what we're used to; a 15-20 minute session and then some chalk talk in the classroom. you instructor rides with you for a while and then they watch you at different corners. this school emphasized going fast more than any other driving school i've taken. the cgi motorsports school at gingerman emphasized it a lot too, but not like these guys. If you're looking for instruction in the grand prix driving technique, take 'Council's school.
I'll probably work a corner during the school or something.

ILLINI-SVT said:How are you getting into this? Through Salt Creek or through someone else. I may sign up just to enter the school.
ShelbyGuy said:Yeah the Salt Creek Sports Car Club is the Midwestern Council of Sports Car Clubs member club to which I belong. not sure how friendly they are to having trucks on the track.

Cliff and I joined the Northwoods Shelby club last year in the hopes of getting in to Road America before it fills up this year, to late last time. But how do I go about joining the Salt Creek club? Im interested in joining. I know Cliff is supposed to keep me posted on Gingerman this year as we are planning to go for a couple of days. I havent talked to Kelly lately, im sure he will be at RA but is he going to Gingerman this year?
