   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:).

The the "Brag Off" competition. 2 runs scored by the smallest difference of the 2, skill improvement, etc...so the preasures on:). Well, I am proud to say I came in 2nd with a 0.29 between my runs, and 5th best time (I think), of 30...Fiero did me proud today:)...lol...1st was a Camaro SS...LOL!!!, when announced Stephen yelled "Go GM'S!!!"...lol, remember this was a BMW event...lol

There's my day:)...time for a beer and thowing a steak on the BBQ:)...cheers

	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.

	It was well worth it...they have many driving programs than MANY of us should consider, if interested I can post the list from the BMW page.
