For the weekday event there will be two instructors available during the run group to ride with folks who want it. However two instructors spread over the entire group doesn't really provide much except bare basics.
The only way to address the issue of mixed skill level would be to have two run groups for the club. This would decrease the total amount of track time down to around 6 or 7 20 minute sessions. Still over 2 hours worth but not the 3+ hours worth if the club ran only a single.

Having two run groups during the day versus three realistically only means you have six instead of 8 sessions and the sessions are just a bit shorter (25 versus 20).

$2640/12 = $220. We get 12 and only 12 people and have the track to ourselves for a day. With only 12 cars, even the slower ones should not be an issue as there won't be that many and passing will be a snap (on the straights only with a hand signal as I'm sure Apex will require). Plus, people will want to sit out some so there probably won't even be 12 cars on the track. I know I'm not running a full 8 hrs. Forget about sessions, we just have to sit out an hour so safety and others can break for lunch.
Do it on a holiday Monday, isn't Presidents day in Feb?
Then again, if this group wants instruction the above idea doesn't work.
Edit: and if you do want instruction, sign-up for NASA HPDE on March 15/16 at Cresson.

looking at the list, we are probably going to have at least 10 advanced drivers, and I am assuming most of those guys will be in race cars.
(maybe we could have a little sprint race at the end of the day) lol
but I really think it would have to be on the weekend

$165 x 16 = $2640, that's what Apex wants for the track minimum.
