Free for instructors, that is. If you want a look at the track and are an instructor with some recoginzed group, here is your chance to take quick trip.

I'm not speaking for the event people. I'm not sure if they would be able to use you if you have not seen the track before, but it wouldnt hurt to get in touch with them if you want to come.
