I’d like to thank you again Mike for posting the initial info and for all the work you put into the organization; maps, times, meet spots, etc. And of course to those who attended. The event was made more enjoyable by you being there.
I had the same initial feelings about the skid pad. Pretty amazing how relaxing allows you to drive better and feel the car out, isn't it? Very satisfying feeling too, when you "get it". That exercise was definitely the most eye opening for me.

No problem about the initial post, I tried to give you guys a little more time for a heads up this time lol. Also, the porsche guys shouldn't have all the fun, I thought it was cool we kinda crashed their party. I like their little stab at the GTOs & Caddy in the morning lol.

Next time man, they put the clinic on once a year and they have autocross almost every month.

Hey George, glad you could make it, I think you guys opened some eyes. It was a lot of fun watching you and gabe with the other black GTO drive the autocross course. I was working the last corner with daniel (supercharged mustang). I'm pretty sure they put the driver's clinic at el toro on once a year in the Jan/Feb timeframe. I think they have another event they put on at willow springs, which sounds like a lot of fun... but it's far away, which sucks.

Sadly, the two pics I took came out like shit. I didn't get any video cuz I was running around early in the morning trying to figure out/fix my tire rubbing issue, didn't get my camera set up
