Craig, your wife will absolutely positively not have a problem feeling
comfortable at the annual SFR autox school. It is a very low key affair with
pizza, soft drinks, and cookies thrown in for good measure. You will both
get much better at using your car (you can share) by the end of the day. The
price is less than half what others will charge for a day of one-on-one
instruction. Next to hosting a couple of dozen top drawer solo 2 events each
year, it is the best thing the autox community does. I wish we could do it
twice during the year. The operative work here is "nice", and it might even
hurt some ones feelings to think that a having a women instructor would make
a difference. At our events, when you register you have to check your
testosterone at the trailer anyway ( we keep an empty bin for that ) and
secure it with your license until after your runs. OK? See you both there.
Tony
