Oh wow, well no problem Eric.

That was the time of my life, today!! Beating the crap out of modern Mopars, with full instructor approval. Our team won the "Team Autocross Trophy" by .4 sec. The instructors said it's been a long time since they had an entire group of good and agressive drivers. (without an incident)

Driving on the big track was the most fun. 3 cars go at a time with an instructor leading. Basicly, you just do your best to run his ass over and so he has to go faster. (no passing) We get a free onboard dvd video and I can't wait to see it. I hope it's as good as Jon's autocross ones.

Nice meeting you Andre, hope you had as much fun as I did.

The vaunted "Orange Cone" trophy.

You sounded like a kid on Christmas morning when you called me after it was all done!!!!

Shake 'n Bake!!!

I was a little jacked, Crys. I didn't want it to end. I forgot to mention I got to do some hot laps riding shotgun. The instructor drifted the chally on every turn.

No, we didn't get to pick the team.

Very cool Tom! Hope you can post up that video when you get it!

I'll see if I can.

I was at the one on Saturday Aug 14th I was on Team Shake N Bake and team hammer won the autocross by .40 of a sec hmmmm whats the chances LOL

Loved the hot lap with the instructor same thing drifted the hell out of the chally, I had some serious wood LOL

I can't wait for the video I of course get in during the first driving session completely forget about the camera and stay quiet the entire time before burping really loud toward the end of the run and then remembering the camera and mic LOLLOLOLOL

For all we know these videos may look like those utube vids of parents with their horrified kids on roller coasters.

They needed more cameras. I could have done without the "head-to-head" for more time on the big track.

Yeah I had a blast too Tom. I met Eric earlier on when I was lost tryin to find the place. But we made it with time 2 spare. The instructors were real cool, and it was an overall great experience. It gave me a different outlook towards really "skilled" driving, as opposed to what I do on 294 on my way to work everyday. Real nice to meet you guys.

No problem Eric. Yeah there were alotta member cars out there. Many of which Im not even gonna attempt to spell. The instructor said Michael Jordan and Jay Lenno are members there. That kinda answered my question as to why I had never heard of the place. Lol!

That sounds cool. My worst moment of the day was when they said "Thanks for coming out for this, bye now". It's a really cool experience.
