Yup small world. It is great that you are doing the school I never did but I should have. It will be great to have another camaro out there dodgeing cones with me. I hope you enjoy the school and hope to see you at the first event May 1st.

Make sure if you would like to take part in the school. That you register the morning of April 5th as the class that I posted info for filled in less then 24 hours. It is a great event and if you are interested in autocross it is a great place to start. If you would like to get an earlier start you are more than welcome to sign up for the first events which have been mored to May 8th and 9th.

Still plenty of spots. Would like to see some other members check out this event. See how some of those 2010's perform!

So I saw some pictures from the event and it looks like you made it. How did it go for you? I was hoping to make it done there however I was unable to make it due to a full day of clean up after a 50th birthday bash we had for my mother-in-law. I hope you enjoyed the event.

I did make it to the event. The classroom portion on Saturday was very informative and interesting Neil did a great job of keeping it going and keeping us awake.

On Sunday the racing was a blast. i think i did about 25 laps overall and time wise i came in 15th out of 50 cars. many were amazed that massive car such my 3rd gen could hustle around the course faster than their Japanese and German sports cars!

A lot of friendly people at this event too. everybody was very talkative and the instructors did a great job showing us what to do.
I look forward to doing it again.
