September 26-27, 2020 - MBCA|GWS on Shenandoah
MBCA|GWS is back for a Full Weekend in 2020 (up from 3 years of single day events)
I know some of you on here have come and driven and/or instructed before, and I would appreciate the continued support. Instructors can self tech, get lunch, and (if I get enough bodies) will be aiming for 1:1 student/instructor ratio Thanks everyone https://www.motorsportreg.com/events...greater-767659

Few weeks out, still on schedule. Monitoring other clubs' COVID procedures, but rest assured we will put on a safe event

Just as a point of reference, I did lead follow instruction on Shenandoah with Track Daze this past weekend, and it went amazingly well. My student progressed quickly and safely, and end of the event very much improved.
I wish PCA-P would adopt this, as I’m just not comfortable doing in-car instruction during the pandemic.

Agreed, it has its limitations for sure, but the reality right now is that we have Instructors and Students who will not share a vehicle with anyone. How this impacts students down the road (i.e. what bad habits we need to undo) as a reuslt of lead-follow remains to be seen.

we do in-car and lead/follow in SCCA.
novice gets in-car as long as we have enough instructors willing to do it. intermediate gets lead/follow on a request basis. instructors who don't want to get in a car with a student and extra instructors from novice fill this duty. lead/follow definitely not the same quality as in-car, but it is a tool in the tool box that instructors need to understand how to use effectively. it should be used regularly regardless of the Pandemic. there was a Ross B webinar back in march about the use of lead/follow. lots of instructors participated. i was shocked at how many instructors really had no clue what it was or how to do it. then there was the group that refused to do it because "it would put too much wear and tear on there car".
