Took 'em literally, huh?

 

As soon as I turned 17 my parents signed me up for the skip barber 3 day racing school at Lime Rock (northwester conn). Easily one of the best experiences of my life. The instructors are awesome, friendly and really helpful. Plus you get to drive their awesome formula dodge (1.2 gees on street tires!) I would have probably been a reckless teen on the road if it wasnt for the school, now playing on the street seems childish compared to track work. The only side effects are that Im hooked on track driving and I heel and toe every downshift
