That's why we need driving lessons, ain't this the purpose of them?

 

Nothing will help a G35 driver

Just be careful... it's addicting and expensive.

 

Don't I know it...like it says below my username.

 

LOL Balzz, how many set of tires and brake pads have you used

 

I'm on my 3rd set since a year ago...but I think the biggest thing was buying a whole other car to do it with.

 

Yeah, i am sure that the FC will run great around the track with it lightness.

 

Hey, aren't you supposed to be at one of these this year?

 

With respect to some recent threads about track events gone bad....

NE1 know how the CDN insurance industry deals with "Instructor lead" driver taining??

 

Here's a write-up on an incident that occured in June last year - http://computer-ease.com/socci/rpt0506.htm

Here's my personal opinion about that incident being talked about this week based on first-hand accounts from the instructor in the chase car and others at the event. The Evo driver had already gone off twice that day - at the club events I've been to here, that would've been grounds for ejection, or at the very least a very stern talking-to about slowing down. The other thing is that no club here will stage cars so close to a hot track without barriers of any kind. If told to stage in such an area, I would politely tell the organizers to F*** off. Even autocrosses don't stage cars that close to the course!

 

If I'm thinking of the same video that was nuts.

Probably some type of mechanical failure.

 

It was 2-wheels off, and the driver yanking the wheel hard to try and get back on track. Story is that his buddy was in the chasecar and they were trying to make a cool video. The evo driver had 2 offs already prior to that vid.

 

Shane, school is June 10 + 11. Any comments or words of wisdom welcome.
Thanks
Deane

Deane, PM me your email address - I'll send you an information package from another school with some general prep advice. Other than that, keep a level head, listen to your instructor, and have fun. You will have the time of your life.

 

Thanks Shane.

Alright Deane, I want a report posthaste!

As for my weekend, absolutely perfect weather. I had an electrical issue with the car on Saturday so I was down about 15-20hp but fixed it overnight. Car was working well today and it was an absolute blast at Mosport.
