The wife and I were heading out this past weekend when the sun started shining in her eyes. Since she had forgotten her sunglasses she had to put the visor down to get some shade.
She then tells me, "I now know why Porsche drivers appear to be stuck up."
"Why?", I ask...
"These visors are so small that you can't help but have your nose in the air when driving around!"

Ferd...most of those are at the "baby track" I only had 4 DE's with PCA and 1 with Private
yesterday was very very wet and chilly...the day was quite good. My group was comprised of some very conservative drivers...it was hard work getting them out of their comfort zone...there were at least a couple that made some real progress...and a good time was had by all.....
some changed to the program gave the instructors a LOT more time in the afternoon - we use to let students run till they wanted to go home, now we are sending them home to help avoid them going passed the point of tired. This allowed us out on the course much longer and a much smaller group (read more time on track)
I ran till I had my fill - (read last guy standing, last car out
)
cleaned up the track, shot the breeze a while and said our good byes till next year. I miss it already...next day must be about Jan 7th? for "winter skills" (calendar not posted yet) - maybe some snow on the ground, that would be a kick!!
