Also could you please tell us what your in-car instructor qualification standards are, and what sort of payment the instructors in this area may get for their services at your events in 2009?
I guess it's how you define a high performance driving event (HPDE) as that's how we see it. Again, in-car instruction for the Novice's is available.
As for our instructors, they must have completed PCA, BMWCCA, ACNA, NASA, SCCA or similar instructor training, complete with experience.

I just took a few minutes to look over your site and your passing rules are not listed. And as a driver of a lower HP momentum car passing only in the straights sucks. So if thats the case I have to thank "getfast" for getting this out. Is it open passing with a point in the Instructor Group?
I too drive a lower HP (205HP, 4-cylinder) momentum car and "YES" we get passed by Vipers, Vettes, etc. from time to time, but it doesn't make it any less enjoyable. By the way, the passing rules are listed with the rest of MVP's rules at:

Instructors run in the Advanced run group with the same point by rules as the other classes. Passing in the turns isn't allowed for safety's sake. Happy Motoring!
