One just stood out in my memory where an instructor and I didn't mesh well. I went easy and let him know as we warmed up I'd really like to feel the car out at 10/10ths and some of my background,blah blah balh.. in the end he just found getting familiar with the 3's tail out controllability too much.. no biggie. I'm a few hundred yards from where the one in my neck of the woods will go on, as a matter of fact I am looking out my window at the ballpark. It should be fun either way and your involvment and explanation of how you organize it should hopefully put it up with some of the more enjoyable "tests"..
I'd love you feedback (either way) when you get back .

It seems AMCI might be a bit more conservative.
