Susan and Mike Smalley were fantastic on Friday (as usual) - as were the other mentors; I was not surprised to hear 'I learned so much about...' or 'We worked on..' as part of almost every conversation I heard, or heard portions there of.

Great event, thanks from Registrars to clean up.

What was the fuzzy thing in the back of the Blechster? My student was working on situational awareness and we kept noticing it.

The Chinchilla Bobblehead? That was a test for my two students on Friday. It was blocking the rear view mirror view and neither Hunt nor Dazzo noticed it. FAIL!

Looked like a wind baffle for a microphone.

Good to get back after a 5 year absence! Really impressed with the M3 and its Jekyll & Hyde personality. For the first time on track in a while and in a very different car from my RSA, I was pleasantly surprised how capable it is in "basically" stock trim. Had good sessions with some Cayman S's, so having someone to run with makes the sessions that much better!

Had a great blue student and brought a friend for his first time (one of the green/green students). They were really impressed with the classroom, emphasis on safety and how well all was run. Both felt they learned something and had a great time!

Does anyone have video from Black run group? I'd be interested in seeing my car out on track.

I took a cocky young kid out and showed him how the old timers drive. Nice and slow

That was quite a Census. Glad to see that you are back in Black. I recall our battle in the Carousel to be longer and better fought. Did you really honk at those guys?
