Thanks to Curt and Chris for hosting and all of the instructors... especially John B and Mark P for helping me. I did not think I could have more fun that the course on Sat ... but reverse was even more fun for me, I loved sliding into the start of the slalom, that was cool.

I had a blast and learned a lot. I dropped a huge amount of time on Saturday in spite of a control arm problem that I discovered late in the day that aggrivated the squirrely nature of the car. I thought it was much more stable today, but I guess that's all relative.

A BIG thanks to the Saturday workers, too!

You guys did a great job keeping things moving for such a small group.

Hey everyone..Im sorry I didnt make it today.. We decided tohave one of my lil girls B-day cake deal today...so guess what had priority???

I hope all my RWD students enjoyed the course today...Me and Robert drove it lats night....and we knew it was going to be a HOOT !!!!!!

It was the fastest blind apex course Iv ever drove here locally. It really was a lot like a National type layout.

Thanks for all my students for paying lots of attention to my "trust me....keep the lil skinny pedal pushed" training style.. I told you Larry,it would stick...

Shawn G. what can I say??? all 4 wheels jez aint supposed to drive.....

Just like to pitch in my thanks to everyone that helped make this happen. I at least had an inkling about what the instructors where trying to teach me this year!

I learned a lot of stuff and actually just finished writing up notes to help me remember stuff. Those two courses were the most fun I've ever had yet.....here's to having SPACE!

Back...Back...Back!

Look over there...way over there! Now look way over there!

Gassing it tames the loose rear end! (on a fwd car anyways!)

Thanks guys...BIG TIME! Gonna be another fun year in STS me thinks!

(Street tires)

Mark found the Kumho's fastest, but just by a hair over the Azenis RT-615's. The Hankook's weren't up to the same level as those two.

I wish I could have been there. Trust me. I'm sure it was better than what I went through in Panama.

Thanks to everyone that made this school possible, particularly all the workers that stayed out there all day Saturday. Curt and Chris, the organization and fast pace was phenomenal. I enjoyed both courses but today's was the best ever. Great thanks to John B...the little skinny pedal works wonders and the car does stick more than I ever thought possible. Also great thanks to Mark P...It was amazing to go through the slalom today after your showing me how to do it yesterday. Robert, your exhortations at the beginning and during the breaks were inspirational. I think everyone improved over these two days. Brian, get some legal wheels so we can have a real competitive CS year

Thanks, thanks and more thanks! Adrenaline for hours! What a deal this school was. A big thanks to Robert for turning my head when I couldn't seem to do it myself. It's amazing how much faster one can be when seeing where they're going instead of where they're at

Now for an lsd...

I'd like to jump in on the "thank you's" as well... I learned more from going to this event than I probably ever could one autox at a time. I hope to see everyone around in the future!

I appreciate all the workers that showed up to help out. Especially Bill Holt. Also to scott Gibson. He was a student and still did more than his share of the work.

Also thanks to everyone that has expressed an interest in learning more about how events are run. It relaly helps when there are a lot of people that are comfortable running the AxWare on teh laptop....I'm sure D & D get tired of it.

Thanks to everyone also for letting me drive all those cars today - Scuffcakes, JB, Bradley Allen (most expensive car I've ever driven), Stu, Tyler Hamilton, Doug Allen, Curt & Heather.

And a big thanks to Mish for going to get teh food and drinks etc.
