You can participate. It's recommended for the school to use something other than the mod car. The most important things you will learn will translate well to whatever you are driving. Markp could probably chime in on how they handle this at ecvo schools

Just like Gary said, the Evo schools recommend running something with two seats. That way, the instructor can see what you are doing from inside the car and pick up on things you might be doing wrong. Additionally, the instructors will work with you to show you the correct line. These things are much harder, if not nearly impossible to teach if you aren't sitting side by side in the car.

That said, if you run it, you will have some quality drivers there that will do their best to help you.

Now THAT's how you get first choice of instructor....although I'm sure driving the car could be interesting as well. :lol2:
