Thanks for the reminder, Jon! You make it sound so dirty. 
I went last year, it was a great weekend. Great instruction, really well run event. Cheap compared to a lot of other driver's school sort of events - especially the rally schools. Really likely to do it again this year<...checking schedule...>

Venue will be the Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa.
Pricing will be on Paul Eklund's website, here's the link, but he hasn't updated it for 2012 yet:
RALLY SCHOOL
But that should give you a good idea, and he has some FAQ stuff on there.
The school goes over the entire weekend, classroom time Friday night, practice all day Saturday (and I do mean all day), and a RallyX for everyone on Sunday.
the only requirement is a safe car (although, there will be rally cars to rent if you have the $$$) and a helmet. Helmets will be available to borrow, but there won't be enough for everyone, so plan accordingly.

I am down sounds like a metric ish ton of fun. Peninsula convoy and camp out anyone? Camping is cheaper than hotels.
Helmet question:
Snell SA2010 open face helmet gonna work? Will that helmet also work for SCCA autox events?

How novice can you be? I want to do this, but haven't driven a rally or had offroad instruction beyond a practice at Praire City. Also - would a motorcycle helmet that met the year requirement be sufficient?
