Glad you guys had a great time. Can't wait to read the write-ups. Of course, you guys better keep all the spinouts and loss of car control stuff in the writeups, or we'll all know they are fake

Waiting for cthree to make the first report, then we'll add to it.
(But we can't disclose any of DDA's patented "go fast" techniques that we learned. )

I agree...they enabled me to whip though the aisles at the supermarket in record time this evening

Supermarket isles are important... particularly where it's cold. I am glad you all had a great adventure. Were there new techniques to learn or just improvement to what you already knew?

I think everyone was able to learn something new and i think we all now have new techniques that we'll be working on for some time to come. Thats exactly what i was looking for and i'm glad i was able to find it cause it was my greatest fear going into this that they would be unable or unwilling to take it as far as we wanted. I've been doing track days now for over 2 years and though i was still improving as a driver i was however reaching a plataue in the learning curve. This class i think will now allow me to take the next few steps that i might otherwise have strugled with. I think the key to DDA's ability to do this is their ability to analyze your performance immidiatelly after your 20 min session and to go right back out and try it again. That ability has got me seriously considering a DL90 to help me evaluate my on track performance.

Dave-

Thanks for the insight. It sounds like your skills improved dramatically and we'll see the difference at track days. I hope we can plan this event again for another group from the club. I'll be there for sure.

Dave, a DL90 sounds like the perfect birthday gift to rationalize buying for yourself, especially after DDA. Happy Birthday, and I guess we can expect to see the DL90 by Sears Point!
