Going to Skip Barber!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!



And a happy 50th birthday to me.



My family and friends are the best. I don't normally hint about what I'd like, but when it was communicated to me that they needed some direction, I thought long and hard about some nice thing for my Miata, but I realize that I'd be doing those anyway. What I really wanted was something that I'd always found reasons to put off to another day: a 3 day open-wheel racing course.



And so everyone chipped in and I'm probably taking the April 13th course at Skip Barber's school...



...at Laguna Seca!

Awesome! I hear the corkscrew is a lot steeper than it looks on TV.

Very nice!

I should have replied ages ago, but I wanted to hold on until I got my own course booked or at least picked.

And now I do. I just emailed Skip Barber to register for the 3 day course at Laguna Seca June 11-13. That's a Monday to Wednesday, which should work out well for me and my GF who will hopefully join me for the drive down from Vancouver prior to the course, but who will definitely be there for the 4-6 day drive back from the course up the coast highway, through the wine country of California...

...the whole thing should be epic.

:-D

As it happens, it is also my father's birthday. He died 3 years ago and one of the things we shared was a love of motorsports, so it's a very fitting day for me to do this.

Will do!
