The Heroes of H.P.D.E words Jeff Woodard,
We’ve been blessed with enough instructors for our June event that we will have a one to one ratio
in our student pairings. For our drivers, this means that they don’t have to share their instructor
with a driver in another run group. For our instructors, this means that they are able to give 100% of
their attention to just one student/driver. In the past we’ve had instructors moving between multiple
cars, trying to remember what they had covered and what they were working on with each driver.
As I mentioned, this group goes home tired.
