Mark,
If I read your message correctly your suggesting a driving school type event in conjunction with the 2003 National conference. It sounds like a good ide. I'd be inclined to show up. I'm sure the driving school would give some sort of a break on the price based on a guaranteed attendance. I'm going to be at the Monterey Historic races this weekend and will ask the folks at the driving school booth about this issue. I'll post a reply next week.
