I wasted a small inheritance on sporty car racing when I was a kid .... had
a local SCCA license and went through a couple small bore rides until the
money ran out ( expensive game, even in the slow car classes ). I was
never better than mid-pack .. Stirling Moss, I ain't ... but I'd still get a
kick out one of the driving schools ( not enough of a kick to spend the
money on it ;-) However, I don't think I'd enjoy it unless I could really
race the others there, just driving was never as much fun as the
competition..... and I can't imagine that they allow a 'rubbin' is racin'
attitude with those fancy Furryrahrahs G

I quit SCCA when they moved the Nationals from Foad Atlanta to Mid
Ohio. They were in Road Atlanta for 26 years. Joanne and I went down
the first week in October each year to work either a corner or timing
and scoring. The move to Mid Ohio was purely political. I chopped up
my licenses and ID card and mailed the pieces to Denver with a nice
note.

I've taken more than my fair share of driving schools, but I don't
have the kind of money to take this one, unless it included a week of
Brookie fishing in Labrador. I'm happy with Panoz, Skip Barber, Bob
Bondurant schools and the school I used to teach. I still get to
stretch the beautiful legs of my RS6 at the track a couple of times a
month, even in the winter.

Often taunted by trout. Almost entirely harmless.

I slogged my Alfa around the track enough times to realize I have zero
natural talent as a race car driver but it was a lot of fun and kept me
from doing stupid things on mountain roads.
