He's way stoked. If we can get this trailer crap straight it will be a whole lot better.

LOL trust me, it's not free. You could easily miss a bunch of it while helping your students and your days will be busy/exhausting. You also can't leave if your car breaks and you won't have much time to work on it either. Instructing is great, but it's definitely not for everyone.

They're only $300 if you can find one used. More like $375-$425 new...

I'd vote for buying one then selling it later if your plans change, not renting... just IMHO of course.

Oh I know... I'm not sure I'd have the patience to teach this stuff to anyone, but most people I've said that to say they thought they'd be the same way but most all really like it. Maybe toward the end of next year I'll do it... once all the kinks are worked out of the race car becaue right now she requires lots of love and care at the track for stupid shit.

If I buy one between now and October can I get a refund on my transponder rental?

provided the car gets back together (we know how that goes) i'll be there in PTE hopefully fighting up front thanks to a cam and some tuning.

instructing is a fun, though it is work. i do miss it, but i don't miss the day being so busy. dan unkefer teaches the clinic real well. the biggest fear of course is that you're not the one behind the wheel, but you learn that you actually have almost full control of what's going on. quickly knowing exactly what to say and nothing more is key. the best benefit is seeing how satisfied the students are after the weekend and their driving has gotten miles better.
