It sounds like you guys are already convinced but...one new person's opinion,
The idea of a new drivers' information packet is excellent. All you get when you register for your first school is the Supps!
In my very little experience, sometimes you don't have intelligent questions to ask at first and just being asked to sit in and listen to veteran 'bench racing' after a session on the track is invaluable! The instructors and helpful drivers that have pulled me along so far are the only reason we keep trying! Well that and it's fun!
I hope you do get a form of this going...Can I still get a Mentor?
