OK, just needed clarification. We call the skid pad and lane change stuff a "Street Survival" course. Mostly for teenagers to get a feel how their car will slide and how to handle stuff jumping out in front of you.

On track should really be considered a High Performance Drivers Education HPDE.

OK, so then the only HPDE I have done is at Blackhawk Farms in my SHO. It was multiple cars on the track at a time, flags for stuff like black flag, etc. 20 min runs or so.

just a heads up for the October DE at Watkins Glen, The Seneca Lodge is booked solid as I just got the last room, So if your thinking of attending look for lodging now as it will be a busy weekend there with the wine tastings and leaf peepers!
Curt check your registration roster cause I'm on it! Can't wait!

Sure did Curt. The problem is they are 3megs each and I don't know how to make them small enough to upload. I'm pretty limited in my computer skills but I am always trying to improve. Any suggestions?

Those are great shots from that little guy! I tell you what...camera and lens technology is so good these days you hardly need to shoot a big SLR anymore. That said, I have several of them and while I love them, I am not convinced they take any better pics than those above (at least for web publication, it is different when you blow them up or print them).
