Any other C43'ers out there received their complimentary access letter?

Does the C43 get you the free basic course? I assumed it didn't but would be happily wrong.

I'm pretty sure c43 owners are qualified. However, it would be easier to just email the organizers at the ADA to verify.

FYI, you don't need to get the certificate in order to book. Just use your VIN when filling out the form. It takes a week or so and they will verify.

I did the Beginner course at COTA back in December, and it was absolutely worth going to, even if you have to pay your way.

That being said, the instructors told us that for 2017 they were changing up the curriculum for the Beginner class and significantly increasing the number of students for each session. They were making a big deal out of it because we were the last class to do the AutoX competition the way it has been set up, and all the instructors were competing to see whose class would be the last one to win it.

Any idea what changes will be made? I have some track and auto-x experience but self-designated as beginner level when I registered just because I'm not clear what they expect from intermediate or advanced drivers. If beginner is going to be at the level of "don't mash the brakes mid-corner" then I need to try to see if I can change.

See you are in FL too. Any reason you didn't choose Atlanta?
