I'm not familiar with you personally, but if your an instructor with PCA, I'd like you to be hands on in the next TSS rather than an observer. The teens are divided into 2 groups so that when one group is doing an exercise, the other is in a tent with classroom type theory. The tent instruction is similar to the way PCA had the National Instructor Certification set up a couple years ago at Qualcomm. Ted Drcar, a duel PCA and BMW member was an instructor at the last TSS and can vouch for the effectiveness of the program.
Gordon Anderson, a past president for BMWCCA is point of contact. I'll get you his info and send it to you privately in the e-mail you provided. I know Chuck S and others are familiar with Gordon as he has been in cooperation with PCASDR in the past and has borrowed some ideas from SDR as it relates to autocrosses and how to make them run more efficiently with hot corner worker change overs etc. I trust he would be happy to return the favor.
Peter, I've not been very active in the club the past couple years. But I don't think they've revoked my instructor status. I might have to get my feet wet again before Jack would let me instruct at a TT. Although, I'm pretty sure they would let me instruct at a PDS or AX if I asked. I did not got through the PCA Certification program when they had it (can't even remember why).
I've look at the schedule on http://www.streetsurvival.org and do not see when the next course is at the Q. Can you tell me when it will be? Do you have any knowledge about the one on 12/6 at Cal. Speedway? I'll probably take a drive up there to observe. And would be happy to be hands on at the local event.
Mike,
The next SD Teen Street Survival is not on calender because we're waiting for Qualcomm to release the first half of 2010 dates. The meeting usually happens in Dec.
I'm not familiar with the program on 12/6 at Fontana. I suspect that the LA chapter of BMWCCA is handling that one. I'll e-mail the LA president and find out for you.
EDIT: Mike, I was going through all my instructor manuals and found the "In car Coach Guidelines" for Street Survival. If you'd like to take a look at it, let me know.
