Default How to find these two NASA instructors?

Looking for two guys that instructed me at last weekend's event. I have first names, but no last, and no email.

First is Joe X - drives the green 240SX, wears a yellow suit. Has thin blonde hair, in a ponytail. You guys must know how to find him.

Second is Bill? Races a Miata and Panoz Esperante GT-1s. From Boston, likes to smoke cigars.

If any of you know how I can drop these guys a line, please let me know. They were both extremely helpful, and I wanted to thank them.

This might be the one for Joe McGroarty...found it on goooooooooogle because I'm extremely bored. It was in response to a question about a Nissan, so it could be him.

[edit]e-mail address removed[/edit]

Maybe it rings a bell for someone...

That's Joe's webpage... found it a while back while perusing for VIR HPDE in-car. I think that email addy was posted above, seems to be corroborated on the webpage. No idea how current it is though.

You might want to try in the NASA VA forums.

Joe also posts here occasionally as "jam149".

Mark - a repeat student of his.

Get in touch with Laura so that she can get you Jeff Curtis' email address. As chief instructor he assigns all the instructors to students and will know exactly who you had. Either he or Laura should have a way of contacting the instructors.
