Leadfoot Adventures has room for 12 experienced drivers to earn some free track time by instructing novice drivers on August 18th at Buttonwillow. Instructors will get to run for free in the Advanced group and can expect to get five 20-30 minute sessions.

If you're interested in helping out at this event or any others listed at LeadfootAdventures.com, please contact me with your racing/HPDE experience. You can also go directly to the event registration site to check out the event details and submit your info right there.

Qualified volunteers must have experience instructing in an HPDE format. Leadfoot instructors are expected to teach safety, track awareness, and basic car control concepts in between sessions and while riding as passengers in students’ cars. A slow-speed orientation will be held after the morning driving class, and a lead-follow session at moderate speeds will be held after that. In-car instruction will begin later in the morning and continue throughout the afternoon novice sessions. Instructors are encouraged to attend the novice downloads with their students.
 
OK, plenty of good reasons for that rule, but out of curiosity, is that your own personal rule or your insurance rule? If insurance, (again just curious), which company?

It's my own rule. I love open wheel cars, I just don't like the idea of them being on track at the same time with street cars. I've been out there with mix and match race cars at test and tune days and I feel the discrepancy in speed is too great for an HPDE format. The safety concerns with exposed wheels bugs me too.
