I'm sure Danica and I could teach each other a few things

Sorry, had to say it!

Then again, I'd rather just pay the 2K and go to the school without her around to distract people and take the focus away from the event.

I'd do her. I mean I'd do it.

I'd love the opportunity to learn from someone so young and talented. Plus, she's a lot better to look at than the instructors I had listen to. I'm sure the student's I've worked with would prefer the up close instruction from her than me!!

Professor Helmüt Tester

Only if 'Hummer' is one of the co-sponsors.

She hasn't won anything what make anyone think she can teach! I second the give me the driving school keep Danica in FHM.

Danica would read this thread and laugh, she gets paid to do what we wish we could afford to do more often. (my wife told me to type this). .............

smankow

just completed my entry form. Driving in Phoenix in February sure beats preparing tax returns in the Philly area. Add Danica and it's truly a no-brainer.

Is it ok if my car doesn't use antifreeze?

Veloce Raptor

Dang.

She's married.

Veloce Raptor

Oh, crap.

So am I.

Kurt R

I'm in. Think she'd agree to a heads up race?

And by heads up I mean she has stuff 90 lbs of stale beer and junk food inside her driver's suit.

dgz924s

Would not learn much from her at this point but she would make a great H&N restraint system! I will provide the installation info.

She'll teach you how to drive an oval. Wow. Stay outside, turn in, don't lift, track out, repeat........................

If there's one thing that I've learned in my recent introduction to track driving, it's that I can learn something to make me a better driver from anybody, regardless of skill set, gender, or "street cred".

Even GhettoRacer could teach me a thing or two... maybe of what NOT to do, but it'd still be something worth learning. (I just wouldn't let him drove my car, is all).


If I won this contest, damn straight I'd go and have at it. ANY seat time (FREE seat time, no less) is GREAT seat time. Especially at Barber, in a Formula Dodge.

And, I bet 99% of the people on this board would get their asses handed to them by her, with me at the top of that list.

Funny... I still don't have the ***** to do that on some corners that I'm "supposed" to be able to do that on, like turn 8 at Thunder Hill. Who knows, oval track running might be really handy for learning your car's limits on a non-oval.
