Rob, I understand you are in the business and from my experience most of you guys do a terrific job. But don't underestimate the clubs. Many (including ours) have certified trainers who simply choose to give their time free to the club rather than make their living from it. A number of very experienced 'advisers' help our trainer. For most of our full day 'Driver Awareness Program' every vehicle on the track has an experienced adviser in the passenger
seat. Few training companies would have the resources to do this.
At least 2 other clubs in our area use our facilities and people to provide 'driver awareness' to their members.
Certainly not all clubs will be as
well resourced as we are, but I suspect many are. Initial annual
membership covers the Driver Awareness program and costs less than many businesses charge for a day course.
You guys do a great job and have an important role to play in Off Road training and safety, but the better and
well resourced clubs are capable of at least the same with other longer term club benefits as
well.
I think there is room and a role for both in educating drivers for off roading.
