Exactly why I would never open up a speed shop unless I was a millionaire and was super bored! Way too many variables that you leave up to the customer to not muff up. And if they do, they'll point the fingers right at you.

talk about a misleading thread title. I opened that fully expecting to see an FP green as the cause of the failure.

as far as how you can check for something like that...

Flyers lost, Phillies won, I am drinking wine and watching rookies to racers, its the TDI cup series. One dude on there raced with Philly Region. AJ is his name, I think right now he is 7th in the series standings (on the show no idea how he ended up).

Anyways:

Pumpgas. We put ben's drag radials on the car and I just bogged it was useless. I was very rusty but next time I will do much better. She went 11.4 at 124 with a fall on its face 1.87 60 foot time. Good times tho we brought some sly fox pale ale. Good times.

Riesentoter Green and Blue DE Students,

Heel/Toe Clinic during an upcoming DE – Interested?

While at Shenandoah this weekend several of us were discussing the potential for conducting a Heel & Toe Clinic at one of our upcoming events (maybe as soon as Pocono), but since it could possibly involve renting additional space at the facility Myles asked that I try and gauge the level of interest before we commit funds.

The primary target audience would be Green and Blue students, but would obviously be open to anyone. The intent would be to provide access to an open section of track or parking lot large enough to allow cars to get up to ~ 55mph before coming into a designated braking zone and then practice using proper heel and toe braking & downshifting before turning, and also to allow for a lot of repetition in a setting where you could focus solely on proper technique and not have to worry about the line, traffic, etc. You could do it in between your normal run-group sessions so as not to lose any track time.

Since this is a skill required for promotion as well as something many of us struggle with we were thinking maybe a formal session might be a good idea.

Several instructors have volunteered to help provide instruction and coaching and given the level of practical racing experience of many of our instructors this could be helpful to many of us. So chime in and let us know what you think!
