40 runs all day with professional instrction:)...Today was like a test & tune...best way to describe it:). Personal instruction, then focused on specifics they wanted you to work on i.e. looking ahead, up a notch on my back seat, and once in 2nd gear, right foot down for support as I don't have a harness...took a lot of the upper body strain away I was dealing with. So with this information, go run after run...maybe 3-5 minute wait, more instruction, work on it...then they would mess you up and not tell you when they remove cones, change a line, etc...was great!, made you look:). http://s170.photobucket.com/albums/u243/Bassman68/DU%20Training/ - http://s170.photobucket.com/albums/u243/Bassman68/DU%20Train ing/ ------------- Brian (Bassman) 86 GT Fastback 3.2L 2013 Mazda3 Sport GS SkyActive [IMG]http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u243/Bassman68/BassmanSignature.png"> |

Oh I am so jealous, that is simple amazing. I think you are hooked on this. You are really going to need trailer hitch for all your gear and coolers and maybe even some spare parts and suspension things, just in case, maybe even move to a set of Track Tires and Track wheels to save your new stuff. You will have to check my thread on the Trailer Hitch Progress.
