I'm not going to defend how they ran their event, but you should recognize that all PCA regions are different, and I would not take this to mean that these folks are elitist because they forgot to mention the advanced registration...

If you go to their home page, you'll see this posted:

2008 NER-PCA Autocross School
Written by Ron Mann

The annual Autocross School will be taking place at Moore Airfield, Ayer MA on April 6. This school is specifically designed to provide a foundation for both those planning on participating in the region's driving events as well as those who would simply like to become more confident and skilled behind the wheel of their Porsche. Regardless of your ultimate goals, be it keeping your car out of a snow bank or winning a PCA club racing championship, the school is an excellent introduction to the fundamentals of vehicle dynamics. Price for the event is $30. For registration information please contact the auocross registrar Jon Cowen.

If your accepted to attend, please plan to be on site no later than 8:00 AM. Chalk talk will begin at 8:20 AM with exercises commencing at 9:00AM. Exercises will include a skid pad, braking and slaloming. There will be a break for lunch at approximately noon time and we will resume with an abbreviated AX course which will be run for the remainder of the afternoon. The school is designed for first timers and relative novices to acquire the basic set of skills necessary for high performance driving. With both classroom and hands on training sessions, it represents a fabulous value. The school is open to all PCA members ages 18 and over who possess a valid drivers license. Children age 16 -18 must have the appropriate driving credentials in addition to having a wavier signed by BOTH parents. Additionally they must be accompanied on the day by a parent.

They have the name John Cowen in red, and it's a link to a contact form... you probably should have contacted him. I've instructed a a whole bunch of these over the years, and all of them were advanced registration so they could pair students with instructors, and know how many of each were going to be there...
