So what's up with Unlimited Laps? They used to put on a lot more events than this. I haven't heard from Hunpin in ages. I can see that they still go, but not nearly as much. Maybe Hunpin has found something better to do? I used to instruct for them all the time. Great group! Not quite as good as T.E.A.M., but I'm kinda biased.

At the beginning of the year, Hunpin was waffling on whether or not to even do them anymore. Maybe he's just getting tired of organizing. I think a couple low attendance until the last minute didn't help either.

But then he secured Laguna Seca and I think he couldn't stay away forever. Haha. (Plus, he got a ride along in an Atom.)

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BONNI!

If you go with NASA to the Sears Point events in September or November, PM me and I will request you as a student, or if I am not attending, I will give you the names of a couple good instructors that can help you out. But I trust most of them so chances are you will get a quality instructor.

I like NASA, I just ran with them this past weekend and had a pretty good day.

I've also run with NCRC and they provide an extra session and theirs are 25 minutes, but the cost is higher.

Also, having a different instructors is not a bad thing, they each have their own style an take on things so you can learn more from having different instructors IMO.
