I made it into the school (YAY!), so I'm certainly not going to complain. But if ideas are being solicited, I'll kick out a few: $25 x 250 that we draw for a regular event. Personally, I would be hap
Personally, I don't think the money is the issue. I'm guessing you'd get VERY few instructors on a weekday... Well, the "Club" in this case is really the Solo 2 Steering Committee. Our funds are sepa

Those were excellent suggestions for furthering one's autox knowledge! So Jim, that M3 of yours has seat belts for how many passengers? I would even beg a ride with your co-driver :) Donald Lew DSP #
