Default Big thanks to Mark for the great instruction at ABCC....

Mark had me doing things with my S4 that I never thought possible (of course I have a LONG way to go). Boy can he move in his Mini.

Thanks Bill for the great ride in your S4. The 996TT on track had to yield position to Bill in his S4 - wow! Boy can he throw that thing around. My S4 does not seem to do that (it's all my cars fault ;-)

Thanks Bill, Bob, Ken, and Mike for all the work. What a great time. You have all turned me into an addict. It's going to be a long winter waiting for the next season of events.

Default <blushing>/ thanks for the compliments.

It's always fun to have a student ride along. And yeah, Mark is one of the best we have. He can make that Mini move like nobody's business.

Maybe I'll be lucky and draw you as a student at one of our upcoming events. We'll do our best to make you smoother, faster and safer.

Default try hitting a few winter driving events as well, they are a blast...

Very easy to rotate the car. It really helped me learn to feel when the car was in a controlled slide and when it was out of control.

It was fun having you in my run class again. It was also fun that Mark and Skiff enjoyed teasing each other on the track, made me experience what my car could do along with how good a driver both the instructors are. Nice that you finally got the 13 14 turn down as the full exhaust really shined. I think that we both learned a lot about our cars with the instructors that we had. Thanks Skiff!

I hope to have Mark as my instructor for the next outing so I can improve my handling with the S4. I'll miss the next Autobahn outing do to my wedding but I'll be at Gratton later that month.

- Bill
