Probably not what most are thinking of doing but I'm feeling going through the first optional slalom from the left.

Joe Brannon used to say stuff like that. And spend the whole day insisting that's what he did. Even if it wasn't.

You gettin' crafty on us, Dan? :headscratch:

You can fly through the section after the slalom if you get the exit right. Just sayin'.

I'm Volkswagenless for this one.

Dan - I'm good for tire money if you'd like me to show you the fast way thru that slalom?

Or, same offer to anyone? [Bueller?]

Hello All.

I am super excited for the classic coming up, the course looks challenging.

I am relatively new to FAST, but have done a handful of autocross and HPDE. As such, I am not a complete newbie, but I am not a pro racing car driver yet either.

As such, is anyone interested in being a sponsor/mentor for this weekend? If so let me know

Thanks, and see you this weekend.

Hey, Tom!

You're experienced enough to not need an "official" sponsor. Classic events are a great opportunity for learning. Lots of runs and no "serious" competition going on. Just about anybody will let you ride with them, and you can find someone to ride with you if you ask around.

I doubt that you'll find any pro drivers among us, though. :lol:

Loren,

Ok, just wanted to make sure I am not already breaking any rules in my new club. Thanks for the info. See you tomorrow.
