In order to get the most for your tuition, you will need to have your car unloaded and be ready to go by 8:00 am. There is no indoor classroom session - it is all done at the site. Student must bring a car with two front seats as instructor ride-along is a critical part of the learning process.

Please do not plan on making adjustments or set up changes to your car. This is not intended to be a test and tune, and there is no time allowed for it. This is driver education, and the emphasis is completely on the driver.

You will do a morning session with all drivers getting seat time. Lunch will be provided at no charge, and then an afternoon session will begin. A de-briefing session will follow, and the class should wrap up by around 5:00 PM. This is an intensive training session that is highly focused on your skills.

The instructors will be Jonathan Roberts and Chris Ramey. These guys are both outstanding drivers and instructors. Jonathan's bio may be found here: http://autocross.com/evolution/jroberts.shtml, and includes a Solo2 National Championship in C-Stock. I don't have a bio for Chris, but his background includes a Solo2 National Championship in F-Stock and a ProSolo National Championship in SS.

Please contact me if you have any questions!

Interesting juxtaposition. I just looked at my credit union on the net and see that my check cashed today.

I'm looking forward to this. I have not been since 1996.

Hope I don't need a pile of midget shims for either of the instructors. Wasn't it Brian Martens that needed a computer case to get Jean Kinser close enough in the Dutton?

Note - there has been a change in the instructors for the Evolution Phase 1 School. Jonathan Roberts will still be instructing. However, due to difficulties with travel arrangements, GH Sharp will be coming in place of Chris Ramey. GH is comparably experienced to Chris, with experience that's probably more in line with the mix of cars at our particular school.

All entrants remember that the State Fair will be going on. Don't even think about using Snelling Avenue. Best bet may be to come in from the west. I believe that the exit from 280 is marked "Kasota". Head east on Kasota and it will become Energy Park Drive. We will be isolated from the frivolity of the fair by the railroad tracks.

If coming from the East on I94, you can take Lexington Ave. North, then turn West on Energy Park Drive.
