Default Spring Mountain May 8-10

I'm signed up for the Level 1 class at Spring Mountain on May 8. Just curious whether any other forum members are going to be in that class? I can't wait!

Hello, I will be in that class as well. Looking forward to it. Several of the group I autocross with just returned and found it to be very instructional. They are all very experienced racers. One ex- pro motorcycle racer said that when he was a passenger and the instructor took him for a ride it actually scared and amazed him, on street tires no less.

The classes work - I can tell you that. My brother has went through 2 stages - last weekend he was running 3.12 - 3.13 with a 25 year old C-3 - keeping up with all but a very few of the best C-5 and C-6 guys -

He talks a whole different language now - balance, loading - etc - I get faster just listening to him. Sometimes he slows way down and lets me follow -
before he went to the schools I could beat him like a red-headed step child - now he puts a horizon job on me within 3 or 4 laps! so either I got slow - or he's alot faster!

Both the level 1 and level 2 classes are a blast . . . you'll have a ton of fun, and learn just as much.
