Should have clarified, if You did Your homework its on the email. You can all look at what others have asked and want to specifically focus on so far.

Glen, just sent you an update. I added more information to be more closely aligned with the information others have provided.

T minus 70 hours and counting!

I'm still looking forward to this. I need something to occupy my mind after Charlie's passing.

Well, I hope it isn't cheating, but I ripped my glove box door apart so I can bring it along for a signature. It'll go with the last one he signed under the ducktail, which never gets seen unless I have it open.

Should give TSA something to do-carrying on my helmet and Isaac restraint, io port camera mount, glove box door.

What a GREAT two days! Patrick, Cory, Seth, Bryan, Randy, Dave, Glen and ALL the instructors (I know I left someone out - my apologies) were GREAT.

Glen, kudos to you for putting this together again. Do it again and I'll be there.

The ride I got from Patrick (before my throttle return spring broke) was SIMPLY AWESOME. Watching his hands and feet and where he was on track was simply ILLUMINATING. Glen rode with me and provided further reinforcement for what Patrick was doing. My thanks to both of you guys for showing me how to go faster and have confidence in my car.

If you ever have the opportunity to participate in a session like this, DO IT! You will not regret it.

Glen and Patrick..... You guys ROCK!

Still in the clouds.....

Thank you Glen for hosting such an informative and educational event!
More pics to come -- sorting them now.




G-forces at work?




Good times, indeed!

Couldn't have said it better Toby.

My thanks to everyone as well. I rolled into my driveway @ 12:30am PDT, so I was in a fog today, but the event was all I could think about.

Next time, I HAVE to make a week of it and take my car out.

I am up! Uploading...
I don't know how 'you guys' can still be up after those two action packed days, though!

Just for you, Toby -- I caught you taking the checkered again (but in the DE)...

I keep thinking about my before/after thru Ricochet, Big Bend, Little Bend, etc. and say to myself "holy ****, I can't believe I did that!". Definitely bucket list material; made more memorable by the great group of people who attended. Thanks to all. Wow!

This was a lot of fun, and a lot of work! Thanks to those who asked me to drive their beautiful cars. Thanks to Kim for being there--can't wait to see some more photos! Thanks to Glen & Patrick & my other fellow instructors for being such a great team! In retrospect, I probably should have left my car at home, since I barely had any time to drive it!

To Russell and Tom and Paul and Rich and everyone else: well-done, lads...well-done!

Absolutely amazing. Glen, you are so fine to put this all together. Patrick and to ALL the AI's, thanks so much for such great instruction. The entire gang was right on, and I really enjoyed meeting everyone. I wish I could have been there for both days. Next time for sure.

I agree with all of the above. Unbelievable time. Great instructors, great people. Having Pat drive my car was definitely an experience. Riding in the cups was unreal. Just chatting with people with far more experience was amazing. A few of us are still here lingering as we fly out later today. Had the chance to have dinner with Seth and Cory last night and continue to share more thoughts. Thanks guys! I wish we had another day... I'm completely overwhelmed... in a great way.

Glen - thanks for organizing this. I'm sure there was a ton of behind the scenes stuff we did not see, and its much appreciated.

Default A FEW MEMORIES, CAPTURED...

Thank you Glen! What a memorable event! A sincere honor to be on board.
A fine group of passionate track enthusiasts and great leadership made for an incredible educational and intense event...
Happy to put faces to names (working on the names to cars, now!)
In return, hopefully I captured a bit of it for all.

The link below is to unedited shots. I have over 2.5K images, and figured I'd let you rumage through and relive a bit of the event.
Same shots, different instructors, in some cases...

To those who have requested images of your cars, let me know whether you can get them off of this web link.
Otherwise I will go through and simply pull your images. Again, non-inclusive -- just wanted to get the posting going!

Glen -- you rock! That was a BLAST!!!


Enjoy!
Kim
