Driver's School
Guys & Gals:
Got back from driver's school at Carolina Motorsports Park, Kershaw, SC yesterday. Had a great time! Nice track altho somewhat sandy and with the windy conditions we had, car got sand blasted a bit. Learned a lot about the car, running the 2.235 mile track @ speed. (110 MPH in the long straight) Learned how to hit the apexes on the right line. Drove with several instructors to get the benefit of differing points of view. Drove with Brad Davis, a Hendricks family member, who sponsered the school in conjunction with Phil Wicks. Dennis Olthoff, son of the South African champion, the late Bob Olthoff, was also there as an instructor for the Superformance group. All in all, a good experience for this old geezer. I'll probably not do it again, tho, only because my arthritic hands don't work as well as they used to.
If anyone wants more info, E-mail me or send your phone # and I'll give you a shout.

P.S. Rick: thanks for the use of your helmet. I'll get it back to you this week.
