Again, Thanks Michael for a great job hosting this event.

I'm not 100% sure on the evaluation sheet, I can tell you from past experience that every instructor that I've had about 20 of them, they all instruct different, the only 2 company's that I've run with, that actually use evaluation sheets are Chin Motorsports, and NASA.
I will e-mail Jon from Seat-time and ask him if any of our group will be ok to run solo on the next event, I would say you are good for solo, considering you and 1 other stayed the entire day.
For the guys that this was there 1st track event and only did limited run sessions, i would say do 1 or 2 more events with a instructor, learn your car and learn the track, it ensures everyone's safety.
Hell I had a instructor ride with me on Sunday, just to show me different lines, also from past notes, it took me 3 weekends=6 days of driving Road Atlanta to get signed off solo with Chin Motorsports they are extremely strict on there requirements for solo.
With that being said for who ever reads this, don't rush the process of getting to solo, take your time, get plenty of seat time, it will make you a much better driver, learn your car, and respect any track you drive, don't think this happens over night. I've ran my camaro for about 2 1/2 years I've only had it on the track twice since I put all that HP in it, Daytona, and this past saturday, it's like starting all over again,
I was only running 1:23 1:24 lap times, I have been running my vette for around 2 years now, and I am still learning the car. I average around 1 track a month, sometimes for a 1 day event, sometimes a 2 day event.
