And spinning out too!!!

Nice Jeremy, I think with some slightly more comforting race brakes you could hit 150 on that straight... maybe...

That would be awesome Mike, I know I tried following you after you passed me in session 3 but I had slowed to much to let you and a couple of other cars by and could not keep up.

For the money, you'll probably learn more with a combination of reading and spending the cash on more track time. $3,995 will buy you a lot of seat time. The Skip Barber Going Faster book contains all the same concepts they teach at the school. What's not included is the excellent feedback from the instructors watching you on every corner and giving you input on what you're doing right and wrong ... and of course all the seat time in the formula dodge.
Sounds great, I'm just looking forward to something sooner then spring.

Where do you get this Skip Babar going faster book?

Any recommendations on driving school thats a little sooner and the LVMS track does it really suck that bad? I could go to one of the cali ones I would just have to fly down there.

Thanks MSM_S2K

Sign up for the UT SCCA track day at MMP in October with an instructor. This way you get a cheap track day $125-150 and you can get a feel for your car and level of performance without spending a bunch of money.

I agree. I think that is the best approach. Save the advanced driving school until you've mastered the basics. You'll get more out of a costly driving school that way.

That pic of you does look awesome ... good times!

Vesko's expecting you to stop by in the early afternoon tomorrow. Remind him to look at my car for front aero estimate.

Looks like I've already sold my Volk TE37s for more than what the new wheels will cost. The CE28s are going to become my street wheels once again.
