Jerry's email:
"What I was thinking about was a track day at Mission for the club. The cost base it on 40 participants, at last year's numbers, we would be at 162.50 each.
The race track is an absolute blast. The way that we structure our day is basically an 830 start (registration/coffee/doughnuts) followed by classroom of about 30 minutes. Then we go to the track and do some warm-up exercises (slalom, breaking, cornering) and then we do some orientation lapping to get the participants familiar with the track. Then we split the group in 2, 1 group to advanced classroom (cornering techniques, trail braking etc) while the other group is on the track. If 20 cars are on the track, there would be 4 instructors with 5 cars each. Instructor as passenger in the lead car of the 5 and coaching that driver, the other 4 follow the line. The other 3 instructors would do the same with their 5 people. Then after a few laps, instructor moves into another car etc.
About 25 minutes or so, the 2 groups switch, and so on. The people get lots of seat time!
We do track days with all sorts of different clubs (BMW, Mustang, Audi, and Subaru), so our guys have lots of experience. We also run the Mercedes Benz Driving Academy, which includes lots of track days across Canada

Like I said, I'm not sure what the exact pricing will look like yet, once I find out, I will pass it on in the linked forum. Right now we have 20 cars and a bunch of interest so the cost will be no more than US$325 per driver and more likely $145 by track day.
In the linked forum.
Here is a link to the 2008 event to refresh your memories: 2008 Pacific Northwest Smart Event At The BC Driving Centre - Club smart Car
And follow this link to see the track information.
The Sports Car Club of British Columbia Official Website (SCCBC) for pix of the track.
This should be another great event and we estimate the cost to be under $250.00 each with lunch, instruction, and track time.
