Most of the instructors at a Marque school event at most tracks are
licensed SCCA or IMSA (excuse me) SPORTSCAR racers.  They, themselves,
have been through rigorous training before they are sent out to teach
you.  If they are not licensed racers, then believe me, they have been
observed and have learned a great deal before they are put into that
position.  BTDT.......however, as in anything one does in life....sh-t
happens......and that's the chance you take.....you're safer on a track
than you are on the streets of Boston....I'll tell you that right now.
