Just checking to see what goes on at this event, so I know what car to take. Email said tech isnt necessary, so is a plain street car ok?

Mix of classroom and on-track exercises. The on-track is basically where whichever instructor is driving pretends to be a 0/0, a typical Blue Group student, etc.

If you don't have a track-worthy car (a street car is fine) you pair up with another instructor who does. Neither instructor in the pair should really be pushing the car.

Fortunately, Jefferson is a short track.

We definitely prefer non track cars, SUVs not allowed. Lot of exercises with no helmets, swapping seats etc so no real high speed but do need helmets in the afternoon. Be nice to see you make a lap or two

What's plan B looking like if we have the snow, 5-6", that some forecasts are calling for on Sunday (or Saturday)?

What Dennis said, we run unless SP management close the track.
