Paolo, Fred C, Gary R, and Sean F,
I know you guys from nothing other than this stupid list (an an intimate understanding of what it takes to drive a torsion-bar car). You'll sound way too much like the Virginia crowd I run with - TedA, Werkstadt, Jeff Curtis, 997inVB (he'll be back soon), Cosmo, etc. We have to trek north to meet and run with you guys - Glen, Limerock, whatever, it does not matter; and you need to let us know when you come down to VIR or Summit. Gotta meet, drive together, drink a few, trade lies.

Race Car
Instructing is very rewarding,.
The good thing is that there are few things as satisfying as starting off Saturday morning with a first timer and helping them experience dramatic improvement by Sunday afternoon, or helping an intermediate driver pick-up 6 seconds over the weekend, or helping an advanced student smooth out turn 5 for 9 mph more on exit.
I have also had a student say, "this is my first time to the track."
I ask, "how long have you had your Corvette?"
Student replies, "three weeks."
Tucker inquires as to any modifications to which the student replies,"chip, cams, and exhaust."
Instructor says a prayer, then asks what the students goals and expectations are and the student says, "I want to see what this thing can do." Instuctor is scared completely to death, and I remind my student that I have a lovely wife and young son.
Instructor and student get in the car, and student asks, "do you think I should I turn off the traction control?"
"No, that would not really be a great idea."
