Default Skippy school

Hi guys. Hope the holidays went well for you all. I am still waiting for my "S" to be fixed. Hopefully soon.

But I just got back from completing the Skip Barber 2 day driving school at Sebring. WHEWEEEEE!!! Did I ever have fun. First little taste of autocrossing and first time in a Viper. Oh no... a monster has been created. Now its in my blood. I think the "S" would be great at autocrossing. My next favorite activity was the skid pad. I would recommend this for everyone.

I also met Cliff with a red 2001 from south FL. He should be joining the board shortly (so watch out!)

And...I'm sorry but I forgot your name....but you'll know who you are....suck it up and get an s2K. You won't regret it.

Yes, I'm sure a monster has been unleashed...

So Vince....what next....a Formula car? Straight-cut 5-speed tranny with wings and slicks?

Deb, you'll have to describe driving...er whipping.....that Viper. Could you see over the hood....who cares anyway? You can only go straight...oh, and there's that slick shifting "short" throw 5 speed....quite "Honda-like" don't you think....Viper....I think of finesse and high tech right away.....

Look what happened to ME after a Skippy school....

HEll ya! I did the same barber school at sebring except I did the racing curriculum. It involved driving formula dodge cars which were pretty fun to say least. Tons and tons of adrenaline!

The 3 day racing school is what Vince did. Now he is hooked too. Not only does he still want a race car (like a Civic) he also wants a Formula Mazda. I told him that I would gladly allow him to change the S2K into a race car After all, (supercharger, header, exhaust, brakes, harness system, slicks) are all things I want to do with my car anyway! I don't think he approved Oh well...I'll keep trying to convince him!
