Don't tell him that, he's got to much backbone as it is! I never get my way. Actually, the hidden meaning in that sugar coated blurb was that I needed instruction much more than he did.

Indeed. Jeff is a bigger man than both of us put together, Greg, and you're a pretty big dude all by yourself!

You can return the first timer favor some day - I'm originally from south Louisiana but have never been to No Problem. Have often thought about it since I have family in NO, BR, Laf, Alex, etc...

As far as the track, there should be a signup sheet for yellow to request one of the advanced instructors; you might try to get on that list first thing Saturday morning.

A few of us post HD vids from TWS on Vimeo. A little better quality. Here are a few of my vids that will at least give you a visual. One from each direction.

http://www.vimeo.com/821788
http://www.vimeo.com/1200937

I watched the videos yesterday, picked up a few things and if I didn't get anything else out of it you had some good tunes to listen to for 20 minutes It looked like you were making up a little time on everyone in T1.... (note to self) lol

As far as the advanced instructor I think thats all taken care of. Now if only I these next few weeks would go by just a little quicker

Does anyone know what's behind the handful of "missing" entries for car # at Clubregistration?

During registration, I got a msg about my prior # but I can't recall what it said. It gave me an option to proceed with a request for my old number anyway, and I clicked OK. Now it shows my number assignment as "missing".

I have my prior number right here with me, so it is not in fact "missing"!

That whole session with the tunes was some deliberate lead/follow with mglobe, deep_uv and few others, so they were probably letting me catch up in order to keep us together

That said, there indeed are several different schools of thought and lines for T1. Depends on your car, comfort level with the wall, the transition, etc...

Here's a T1 compilation I put together a while back to illustrate (probably from the same video you have already seen):

Sounds like a question for Jake he changed my number for me. I didn't know that single and double digits were saved for instructors The good new is I only have to add one digit to my existing number now.

Puters fail when humans don't take care of them. My money is on the human.

Either way, I'll just plan to run with your numbers and generally try to be a nuisance

Can you recover a hard drive? I've plugged into another computer & still has boot error. So it may be a difficult recovery.

What's the error? And what do you need off of the drive?

I may be able to help
