Wally is an excellent driver & instructor, and and excellent friend. Since I sleep in my truck (as he discusses), I often cook out with him & the rest of the guys he mentions. Good times!

I have an open trailer, so that is a non-starter. I take out the 3rd row of seats in my 3/4 ton 'Burban tow vehicle (Yukon XL actually) and have plenty of room to sleep back there.

I guess we shouldn't ask why VR keeps a chicken or two in the back of the Yukon....

Seriously, that is a very cool clip with Sir Jackie. Thanks for sharing.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but where did you take a shower at EC?

I will seek him out at future DE's, I love this style of instructor. He's a hoot and he definitely made me better in the short time he rode with me. While we don't have Jackie Stewart, we have some great instructors right here amongst us and the price is definitely right.

First I got really hungry with him talking about the food, then I started to yell at you deep_uv to "get in there, get in there, tighter....yes...yes...yes!!!!"

I love that instructor...send him up to the Glen next summer for a vacation so we can enjoy him too!

Mike

That might explain all that shoe tapping I heard while I was in there.
