I posted this in the autocross/racing forum but thought more folks might see it here?

I've been asked to instruct for an upcoming DE day for our local Porsche club. I've done several track days and have been racing vintage formula vee since 2008. My concern is that I'm not a certified instructor. I did it once last year when they were in a pinch and it went ok. Luckily I had two good beginner students that day.

What are the potential issues in terms of liability and lacking instruction on how to handle more difficult situations? How can a club run a DE day with non certified instructors and maintain proper insurance, etc.

I wasn't too impressed with how they ran things last year and one of the instructors wadded up his 911 running crap tires. They didn't require instructor cars to be tech'd. I know my 914 didn't have to be and I ran that car. It had recently been serviced and inspected but I wasn't required to prove that.

I'm nervous about this. I'd like to help them out and grow this program. They are pushing hard really hard as they don't want to turn students away. They had a robust DE program several years back and then nothing for a few years. It just started up again in the last 1 -2 years.

Any advice?
