The occasional drag race you see down Hylan Blvd. is the ONLY racing your even gonna see on the smelly garbage infested island. LOL

My office is in SI...been for the last year + and will be for the next year or so.

Roads suck...potholes everywhere. No place I've seen that would be appropriate for this unless somewhere on the south shore where I have not been.

Would take a TON of $ to make something worthy of a race on SI.

Just no rhyme or reason for what they do... In the end it is their LOSS.

Well...you are very kind. However, there are a number of good coaches out there, some with bigger name recognition and/or lower travel costs to & from WGI. I am sure they made the right decision for them at this time. I like & respect Aaron and Van (I don't really know any of the others) and appreciate the opportunity to be considered.

Still happy to come up there before/during/after C&S for one on one, which might work better than just one hour at a time, just let me know.

Thanks again!

I consider Van a good friend and I know many of the HCP membership very well (as my family & I were part of the region.. as well as served in the position of registrar).

Maybe we could do something at a track closer to you? My wife is asking if we will take any long road trips this year off the eastcoast.

actually, I think you could make a nice course in the St George area but they would have to shut down the SI Ferry.

Never happen.

My office is right there.....the stretch of Richmond Terrace/Bay St just infront of the ferry is not bad...but to and from there is crap.
