Thanks guys!

Sure, please do post the video!

 

It was nice to meet you as well. Your car is quite nice, and quick too

Yes, I drove the piss out of the T-bird, primarily because I was trying to close the gap on a shiny silver Porche!

I never did get to close that gap, but with some mods, maybe next time

 

Thanx again to Loren specifically, and everyone else who put this together! The instructors did a great job and looked wiped by mid-afternoon. I had a blast and there is no doubt I will be at every Primus event!

and Nole99 - your car sounded great - and I heard that you did very well from the other instructors - I guess the evo driving school paid off - that was you, right?

 

I rode with him in the S2000 for a session. Very quick car, and probably the best tires the track saw all day! I had a hard time finding things to suggest for him to improve, he was very smooth and controlled the car very well.

I think I focused on honing his line and made one comment about his left hand being "lazy" and never really moving. He did most of his major steering with the right hand... he shuffled with the left hand, but never really moved it.

He was fun to ride with.

When I get around to sorting through the instructor logs, I think I'll try to compile a list of the most common areas that people needed to work on. That would be good general info.

I might also try to email each driver a little synopsis "evaluation", but that's going to take a little more motivation on my part. I'm still tired from the weekend!

 

Hey Hey what kind of tires? My poor yokohamas streets were screaming by the end of the day.

 

Thanx guys! I really learned a lot at the evo school. I think it's a great deal when you factor in seat time per dollar. We had something like 20+ runs thru the weekend. I did that class on Potenza SO3's in the rain. I broke in some new Kuhmo Victoracers this weekend...they were amazing! I've heard they are not as good as Hoosiers, but who can afford those things! I still have a smile on my face from Saturday...

Great job Scott! I was very impressed with your driving too! Very smooth and not aggressive at all! Keep it up! You should start making it out to some of the autox events we have locally, like Ft. Myers, Gainesville, Fairgrounds, and Sunriders, you'll have a great time!

 

It was a great time, I'm definitely up for the next one. Thanks to all the instructors, got great advice from all those who rode along with me. I finally know how my brakes are supposed to feel after having them on for 6 months....they're supposed to work fine cold, but I could sense they liked a bit of heat...now I just need some tires to stop the car better.

 

Thanks to everybody that helped to setup and run the event. It was a lot of fun. I finally got around to getting a couple of runs coverted to mpeg. Not as accurate or fast as Jamal and certainly not the quality of Bob, but here they are.
