The PCA/PNWR Instructor Clinic will be an 2-Day event  -- Friday evening at Dirtfish Rally School and Track Sessions at Pacific Raceway. Attendance is by invitation only which is extended to all current instructors and selected instructor candidates. The goal for the instructor clinic is to set standards and build continuity between instructors so our track events run smoothly and our quality continually improves. This is an event for instructors only. Our agenda is focused specifically on teaching and instructing. The clinic is held jointly by the PCA and BMW clubs. Instructors and candidates who pass the evaluation are accepted as instructors in both clubs.

Priority is given to our existing instructors who have been dedicating their time to our track programs. Participation is limited, and attending the clinic does not guarantee a candidate will become an instructor. All drivers will be evaluated to determine if they are ready to instruct with our club. This day offers candidate instructors a great way to gather in-depth information on instructing and to learn if the instructor role is suitable for them.

Schedule – subject to revision:

Day 1 - Friday, Feb 24th - We'll do the lecture/discussion the from 6:PM to 9:PM of at Dirtfish Rally School. Included will be a session on the "Top 10 Issues". Ross Bentley will talk about how to address these issue through changes in driving technique, and Jake Coen (lead tech at Motoring Unlimited) will talk about addressing the issue through changes in car setup. 

Day 2- Saturday, Feb 25th we will be at Pacific for a track walk and driving exercises - Gates open at 7:30. As part of the instructor development, the instructors will work in shifts as turn workers for the at speed track sessions. (Not only is this a great experience, but the money we save will direcly reduce your cost for the event.) 

Our instructors are all volunteers and come out with enthusiasm to help others to become better drivers and in turn often learn something new themselves from our talented students! It is a great way to give something back to the club and all the hard work is so appreciated - just look at the students and you will see! We have an excellent base of instructors who help make our events the best in the region!
