If you would JUST change your birthday so you can come play with us... and Vegas... have fun, I'll have bail, just call.

You are very welcome sir!

There will be more instruction and direction given this year to all of us in the first classroom session so that we all know better how to handle passing etiquette and mirror awareness < wink >

I am excited and hopeful that it will be an all Ferrari group and maybe by next year ( or the following event ) we may do an entire Ferrari day! Different groups for different level of cars ... !

More to follow

This needs to be a annual event. That's just my two cents.

 

Thinking about it. Not sure I am ready to track the 360 yet.

 

It's not going to be a race. Just a driver instruction class. Even if you don't do the class I highly recommend coming out to see what it's like.

 

Do you know which track we will get? I've done the shorter track with my Audi and it seemed like I was braking more than accelerating.

I am 99% sure that we will be on the 1.7 counterclockwise

And if you're breaking that much in your Audi, I need to take you out there and show you the line. I can only think of for breaking zones in my Audi.

Lol

OK. Can't stand it. Remedial spelling.

Thank you captain obvious.

Honestly , I am replying off my phone and between "speak to text" and me not proof reading it, I missed it. And by the time I saw it, it was too late.

I apologize to the grammar Nazis , it will not happen again.

I'm in. Unless wife has a baby (due Oct 8). Even then, I'm probably still in.

That's why I tell Alicia not to stand to close to him. That sort of thing is very contagious.

 

Let me know if a non-F car group ever opens up.

 

Apex driving school at MSR has a few open events.

 

Too funny!

I just paid and realized this is for beginners (which I am not). Steve, should I still go? It still looks like there are 2 open run sessions..... Thanks.

 

Most beginners don't run all the sessions. We do have some great drivers that will be out there. But, I do understand your concern.

 

I did not know that. I'll be there! Thanks!
