My PDX pics and videos

Post by neil » Tue May 27, 2008 3:32 pm

Here are a few pics and a video. I went with James in the evo, and Andy in the speed3.

The instructor I got was great and very knowledgeable. I caught on quick and had a blast in my car. I have to say it was probably the most fun I have ever had in my car in the 4 years ive owned it. I am going again for sure. I recommend this to anyone looking for the next step. Start at level 1!! I learned soooo much and I am very glad I started at the very basic level.

My instructor said I did extremely well and was performing on an intermediate level even though it was my first time on a road course. It was a lot of fun to go down the straight at 120mph and slamming the brakes to get down to 40mph to make the next turn, the car turning in flat, precisely where I put it with loads of grip and plenty more performance left for when I become a better driver.

I am signed up for the one in october as well and hope to move into a more advanced beginner class, or intermediate.

Enjoy!

yep, cold tires, caught me off guard.

I was thinking "oh great, the chief instructor gives me the nod that I am ready for some solo time and the first thing I do is almost spin it"

I will be at the one in Oct 19th, check www.stlpdx.com for details. If anyone is interested in going let me know if you have questions or want to hang out while we are there.
