Looking for mentors - autox, hpdes, w2w racing

Also matching up students with mentors in the same part of the country. I have added my info to your website.

I will work to match people based on the club(s) they want to participate and try to include geographic location as well, but that won't be a deal breaker IMO if that's not possible. The overall goal is to make people gain some level of comfort since I imagine all (with maybe some exceptions if a mentor chooses to) will be done via e-mail or phone.


I want to thank those of you who have volunteered to become a mentor. It's awesome to see this many people willing to help people new to the sport!!

There's really nothing on the web site yet - just the Mentor Program sign-up. That's probably OK for folks who know Dave, for those of us who don't I kinda wonder what's up. So, what's up with the web site?

OK, I figured it out. The bulletin board stuff (.php) isn't up and working and that's where the mentor sign-up is. The main web site is up and has info. Sorry for the confusion

John,
A while back I proposed to SCCA (national and a few regions) that they develop a mentor program. For various reasons, it wasn't something that they chose to pursue.

Over the past several months I've been working on transforming the content of a book I wrote about how a person can realistically start participating in motorsports (autox, HPDEs, Time Trials, & Club Racing) into a free online resource. As I moved further with the project, once again the concept of a mentor program seemed like a missing piece. Since it so closely correlates to what I've been working on, with some encouragement from others I decided to give it a go.

The new site is nearly complete and should be ready to be launched in the next month or so at which time students can begin to enroll.

I just signed up. Here's something terrifying, though: next year, I'll be mentoring my son at autocrosses. How the hell did that happen?

Just think though, soon enough he'll be mentoring you.
