The 2018 Solo Novice School has been rescheduled for June 17,2018 at Gateway Motorsports Park.

Due to the rescheduled date a potential conflict with a national event could adversely impact instructor availability. As a result,the event is being capped at twenty-four participants pending final determination of instructor availability. . Additional registrations will be placed on a waitlist and added to the school roster in the order registrations are received. I anticipate being able to accommodate the first six people on the waitlist. Final instructor availability should be determined by May 1.
