Vroom-Vroom!...

Today was the first track day at Fellows Performance Driving School. So I don't have much to say, just photos.
I got to do a ride-along with the instructor when the guys (and one woman) were doing their first on the track experience. I hope to be able to do it tomorrow as well. I had NO idea how much a Camaro (yes, a Camaro is what the instructors drive!) could do. Heaven help us, we are going to drive the Pacific Coast Highway after this.

One of the instructors.

Randy and his Corvette for his first experience in "performance driving."

Just SOME of the Corvettes. There are more Corvettes here than at the Corvette factory!

Ready, Set, GO...

Demonstrating wet stopping distances.

Randy just finished driving the dry oval track with an instructor in the passenger seat. He and I were able to do this later in the day in our own Corvette and he walked me through apex turns and other miscellaneous "performance driving" tips. Fun, Fun, FUN!!!

More of the Corvettes available here. The tires last three classes and at 10,000 miles they sell them.

Randy and his very brave instructor getting ready for the dry oval (the wet figure 8 was too far away to get good photos).

Taking a turn.

Some of Randy's classmates. Jo is the only woman in the class.

That's Randy in the driver's seat (with helmet) and instructor in the passenger seat (without helmet).
