So anyone else from the board heading down? This will be my second trip (last time was with the 2002 M5). This time am going with my 17 year old son and his video camera. Also does anyone know who will be teaching? Finally are the M6 read to drive?

Thanks

As far as I can tell right now, I will be one of the instructors on the program. Also, as Donnie stated, the M6's are ready to go. We used them in the last M owners DE that we had. And we used them for the first time in an M School a couple of weeks ago.

Donnie & Jim thanks for the update. Donnie, I have not gone to look at my old 2003 M school stuff but your name sounds familiar. Were you teaching back then?

Jim, your drifting video is legendary with my son and his friends.

Really looking forward to next week. By the way does the school include a demo on charcoal filter removal?

Funny, side story, I tried to convince my wife to go. Her response was no way "my brain feels like its moving in my skull when I ride with you on the street.... I can not image a worst experience". (I am limited to P400 when she is in the car)
