Talking Droving instruction from VR
I had the chance to have VR ride with me yesterday at TWS. He's a great instructor, and really made a big difference in my droving. Thanks Dave! I do have to say though that VR has a somewhat unorthodox approach to encouraging his students. Thought everyone would enjoy seeing and hearing what it's like.

I knew you would like it! Had it planned before I ever left the track.

Dave it was a blast having you along to instruct. You really helped me progress. I got a fair amount faster today than I was yesterday.

Happy to hear, Mike. Always a pleasure, and you know I had fun, 'cause I was shrieking like Greg Smith does when someone--ANYONE--clicks on his MyGaySpace page.

No, that is what is known as a direct hit.







But yeah, your correction is also true!!

I couldn't quite figure out his instruction. When Dave screamed, did he want more brakes or more gas?

Yes. And more Demerol, too.

And what the video doesn't show is that this is VR riding around in the paddock....

Noby, we ALL wanna know what you were googling when you came upon that picture.

As an aside, nice droving on your part yesterday. Despite my sizeable passenger & a corded rear tire, you and Brooke ALMOST caught me!

Let's see, you slow down to a crawl between 6 & 7 so that you're the only one that can get by Benson. I did see you handing over a $20 to Bob... It is pretty amazing how much you gained on us between 7 & 11. Plus, we didn't want to make you look like a mere mortal, oh divine one

And you shouldn't be calling Cupcake 'sizable'. The weight helped balance out your suspension and cured your alignment woes

And what did SC in 'Scott' stand for?
