What an terrific event. I want to thank everyone at BMW CCA for their hard work...because I can't imagine a hotter day with the instructors jumping from car to car on a day like this. Those guys are saints.

I wanted to personally thank my instructor Tim Hurlbut who was fantastic...thanks Tim! Also wanted to thank another instructor (Steve) who took me out in his silver 996 GT3. Really showed me how rewarding "slow in fast out" is.

Nice meeting everyone out there. Very cool people attending as well.

Look forward to the next event.

Cheers.

It was a good event…got to learn a few things…Steve was my instructor.

Yeah instructors have to be given props. Even when I ride in somebody's car that I trust, I always tell them to pit in after 3 laps at most. Hence, I take it easy and try to focus on the things I am told.

Last session was the best.

The Steve was likely Dr. Steve Heslov. If you like your money, don't play poker against him.

Big props to Lee Papageorge and his co-instructors. Big insight into how data can be incorporated into learning. This definitely a new level for me. A completely different perspective into learning. I will surely be spending more time developing my data analysis skills, thanks to these highly skillful instructors. I wish I remembered the name of the other 2 instructors so I could thank them as well. They were awesome. Overall, a great event. Had blast yesterday and today as well at spring mountain.

Both are exceptional drivers. Julie has raced on both coasts. Brett is super fast too.

Lee races too, RX-8's iirc.

You A+ guys had a great instructor group.

we were B's...Triple M was an A and I especially liked talking to him about what the A classroom is taught. unfortunately, I missed out this time, but hoping I'm approved to be in that classroom next as B was a bit low.

One of the instructors did mention flying off the hill at buttonwillow all four wheels...was he referring to you?

I never flew off the hill. I flew two other places at BW. They were more advanced flight areas.
