That is a tough one. Bottom line it all comes down to whether or not you are able to control the situation and be able to stay ahead of your student. If you have concern that you won't be able to do this then you should most definitely stay out of the right seat.

Every club does things slightly different but they all follow the guidelines set forth by National. This is a requirement for being insured to run the event. I do not think there is a requirement for instructors to be PCA certified. We have instructors from other car clubs who are generally vetted w/ a CI or other sources prior to having them instruct at our events.

Regarding tech, I do believe its a requirement for all cars to be tech'd before the event by a pre-approved facility. However, grid tech requirements are not hard and fast. I run w/ PCA clubs who let instructors self tech and some who require it no matter what.

Again, I will say that you will need to make the call on whether you feel like you can keep yourself and your student safe. If you get to the day and your student doesn't give you the comfort level you are seeking then you need to say 'no' and pass him/her off to the CI and ask for another assignment.
