Thanks to Muddy for stepping up to do some teaching.
We would have been in really bad shape without the help.
Muddy now has a good excuse to go to HOOTERS, thanks to the Z-club.

Gritt (etc.), Thanks for having the School.

Muddy

Thanks for hosting the school. I was reminded of just how slow I am. I need to focus on the basics that I keep reminding everyone else about.

thanks for coming out guys and being understanding. hope you all got something out of it. i learned that miatas on r compounds are rediculious. and my brakes suuuuuuuuuuck. I hope I taught everyone a lesson about how to pick a spot to work on the course....

The prizes and the gift cards were completely unexpected and very appreciated.

I quickly understood why John was getting motion sickness. Riding shotgun in a 25 year-old car on an autox course is like being in a small boat on rough seas. I am glad I was able to help keep the event going. If anyone sees me at an event and would like my input on their driving, or would like to take a ride in my car, please let me know.

I was not there, but my son was. (Mark, grey Mazda3) He came home grinning ear to ear. I think another addict may have been created. He had a blast. Thanks for putting it together.

Muddy mentioned it, but I thought I should also say that the Gift cards were totally unexpected and very much appreciated. I bought new racing shoes that I could not normally afford. Thanks guys. (And Married Man Muddy gets to go to Hooters.)

Snook, I talked to your son quite a bit. Real nice guy. If I remember correctly he said that he just got his Mazda 3, but that you were keeping a turbo version at home. Probably smart to have him learn in the N.A. car.
Mazdaspeed + Solstice GXP + Solo V = 1 cool Dad.

Thanks, he is a good guy. We are meeting in Gainesville for an Autox later this month. Time for him to hone his newly taught skills! His only real driving for the past few years was in a lifted Wrangler... quite a change for him.

He does have his eye on the Solo Vee

glad everybody had a good time! i saw a lot of improvement during the course of the day and he was only off by about a second for most improved of the day.
