Racing Schools

Todd ---

When I did BB - I did the "ZO6 EXPERIENCE"... they did class time - about apex - turn in - tire contact - braking - under and over steer etc - then we jumped in the CTS's they had set up with outriggers... the instructor can raise or lower either end or both -- and you go out and turn some figure 8's - while this butthead tries to mess you up bigtime! It's so much fun it's ridiculous! Then you get in the ZO6's and do some wet stops etc - then we did slalom - and they taught you about that - which is all about "balance"... Their school is all about building blocks - and they have that all figured out. There was only 4 of us in this class -- and we had all the instruction you could use - or needed.

The Spring Mountain romp - was more - some classroom time -- very basic instructions - lots of "if you crash it you pay the bill" - and then follow the leader... LOTS AND LOTS of laps -- which I was more than happy to do... but the LEARNING / TEACHING was not even close to what they're offering at Bondurant.

I also agree that the track was more fun at SM! But I needed the instruction from BB to be able to enjoy the seat time I got at SM -- if that makes any sense to you.

By the way -- you want to have a blast and really poo your little panties?? Do a 6 speed shifter cart class while you're at Bondurants!! 0 - 100 - 0 in about 6 seconds or less -- can't remember the actual number - but it's scary fast!

In the cars you brake BEFORE the corner -- in the carts - you drop gear and accelerate through the corner.... man, I'm tellin' ya - this is a blast not to be missed.
