Will you have any video from that session?
I'm pretty sure I've got video. I'll see if I can clip out the laps we did together and post it on vimeo.

Very doubtful. We've not had that kind of support (except for the club race) for over a year. I've been trying to talk the guys at PST into coming down and providing us with support, but so far, no go.

It would be nice if there was a performance shop in Houston that could bring a trailer out like PST does at ECR. Bring equipment to at least do tires and brakes.

I take it you guys aren't fearful of California transplants............

He's driven the yellow car though, and managed to bring it back alive.

We haven't seen the yellow car yet. Only his wife's silver one.

Jeez, Ken. If they find out I know you, I'll never hear the end of it

The Yellow car is the 95 monster in his signature. It's an absurdly well built machine. Wonderful. Addictive and VERY fast.

And you'll only see it if you come on out here, as it's 20 feet away from me in the shop.

(I'm pretty free about giving test drives to sway people out of BMW's. Last unsuspecting "victim" was Friday when I had to tow a girl's limp-moded E46 M3 back to her house, so she got to drive the C4S. Knowing Kelly, Jeff can probably get a laugh out of how that played out.)

Ah, Jeff, I thought he meant your E36 (didn't know its color).

Ken, thank you. Next time I make it there, you know I'll look you up!

I'll sell him my spot. $500.

Before someone gets their boxers in a bind, I'm just kidding...

Say a prayer my car is ready though...

If my stomach is up to it I'm in if there is a spot, on the other hand, not sure which group I'll end up in but I am always up for grabbing available instructors when I am soloing anyways for pointers. My last time out at TWS I grabbed Steve Hill for one session and picked up a lot.
