I was stoked to have all of you guys come out. I had a great time, aside from having to fix my heat shield rubbing my tires issue I was a little disappointed how the communication was between staff and students, they didn't have a PA/megaphone working. There was some lopsidedness in how many runs for a given event depending on what group you were in. I enjoyed the costco pizza, however

My favorite event was definitely the figure 8, esp on the dry, I had the instructor with the red shirt who was encouraging me to drift, I learned more in 2 minutes with that guy in my car than I have in the last 6 years of driving it lol. The skidpad was really fun too, it really gave me a feel for the under/oversteer.

The braking one was retarded. I got totally different tips from different instructors. Oh well.

Look forward to another one, keep in mind these guys put autocross on almost monthly!

It was a huge ego boost, having instructors fight for my ride along

I had the same experience with the accident avoidance exercise; three different instructors, three completely different sets of instructions. That coupled with an almost useless flag-person… However, set aside that one exercise and the rest of the day was tremendously fun! My favorite, by a huge margin, was the skid pad. Strangely enough, that was the one event I was most concerned with. I just pictured myself continually spinning out and not being able to do it but the minute I relaxed and felt how the car was responding, it was like the sky opening up before me. I couldn’t be any more pleased with my progress. The mini auto-cross at the end of the day was a thousand tons of fun too.

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.

Today was a blast thank you Mike for inviting us! I also loved the figure 8 and for some reason my group didn't end up doing the braking exercise. Oh well I don't need to brake anyway. So when's the next one?

George
