Default Spokane driving school in October

So several people have told me now that the BMW school in Spokane is a pretty good one, and I figured out there's one more class this year in October:

I'm wondering if anyone is thinking about going. I'm giving this some serious thought. I'm trying to get some friends in to it as well. Let me know if you're thinking about going...

ps.
Rob, Beth wanted me to tell you that "Bojangles" = Bill Robinson, *NOT* Sammy Davis Jr. She says "neener neener, you smell like tuna"


Thinking about it:

It's a good school and a fun track. That being said, it's unlikely I'll be there for that school.

I have gone to this twice and am thinking about it again...

Anyone know the status of the legal battles over the Spokane track??

Schmoe, you should put a list of people that are interested in going on your first post..

They do a great job, and it's a fun track. I went in March and June, and both were well run and fun. Well, the March one was "dampened" a bit by record rain, but that wasn't Scott's fault. June was a blast, and I got to meet Manish.

That said, I doubt I'll be going to this one. I have trouble justifying the expense a third time in one year, and the chance of rain in late October is daunting to me, after not particularly enjoying "spinnin' in the rain" in March.

Outside possibility.

It is a very well run school, for novices doing their first ever track event, to experienced drivers.

Fun track, too.

Don't for get the 'free' lunches and BBQ dinner!

More likely to snow than rain in Spokane in late October....

Once they melt the frost off the track, it's not that bad.
