(IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) If you're driving a 914 in California and you want to get some great quality time on the track at Laguna Seca, Sears Point, Thunderhill, or Buttonwillow, check out this group/club! Members rides, future events, driver education (SCCA instructors), and more. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Additional Laguna and Buttonwillow dates will be posted within the next week, so keep checking for updates if you have one of those two tracks in mind.
It's a great group, multi marque, not snobby, and all about lots of track time under safe conditions for you and your car. Check it out! |

Nope, he was trying to buy or sell a car... It was only on a slow speed "recon" session, but still...
That same event was the first time I "kicked" an instructor outta my car The instructor doesn't introduce him self as he gets in my car. So I pull out onto the track. We're half way round and he hasn't said anything. That's alright with me, I'm not that much of a talker either. I didn't come here to socialize, I came to drive and learn. Since he hasn't made any comments, I'm thinking I'm doing pretty ok. Then all of a sudden, he tells me I am turning in too late. Ok, I can take that, I'm there to learn. Next turn, he starts janking my steeringwheel (he's the passenger) at the point where he thinks I should turn in. It scared the shit outta me and I just sat there like "duh!!!" Next corner he does it again... I finished the lap and pulled out into the pitlane. The instructor asks why I stopped. I kindly asked him to get his stoopid ass outta my car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif) I expected some debate. He just shrugged his shoulders and send me out on my own... That was the worst organized track event I've ever been to. The fact that no accidents happened was more due to the brains of the participants than to the organisers of the event. I'm sure as hell gonna stay away from those guys in the future... cheers, Jeroen |
