One real difficulty is getting enough instructors, many have kindly volunteered to take 2 students as it is.

Apparently Dirk has assigned me 17 students. Should be interesting.

Is one of them that newbie that had to choose between paying for the DE versus getting new tires so he wouldn't be on 4 space savers any more?

Nothing at all, but that is why they assigned you a student droving a 930 running on four space savers!

This is so open ended as to be meaningless... since all corners are different what corner are you looking for info?? Seems it would be better to ask what gear folk are using in what corners. Since the entry and exit speeds are usually different. But try watching http://www.summitpoint-raceway.com/i...d=30&Itemid=22 for a guided tour.
