I believe the max number of registrants is 60, if my records are accurate (I check in weekly with the registrar), 18 slots are full right now. I expect that portion of the event to be full by the end of February after the first SRT Newsletters are delivered.
The quality of the instructors who are planning to attend are beyond even my expectations. This is another benefit of running an event through committees. At last count, four Pro Dodge roadracing teams are sending cars and instructors, a couple current and former Michelin test drivers, and a handful of the the top One Lap drivers (don't worry, not me), and rumor has it that some of the Dodge Motorsports Engineers will be there as well. All I know is that I'm rethinking my role as host on Thursday and I am trying to figure out how to be a participant in the roadcourse event.
More good news, the event has grown enough, and developed enough relationships with major players in this type of event, to be able to get an account that accepts major credit cards as payment. I know this may not seem like a big accomplishment, but it's been a four month process. Getting a mortgage without money for downpayment, or a current job, at the best interest rate available is probably easier than getting the ability to accept major credit cards.
Our server, and registration page provider, ELMM.com, is working to get the terminal up and running, and then tested, on the website. Once we are sure that it works correctly, we'll make that option available to new registrants.
See all y'all in Topeka,
