Default Bondurant School Classes

Yes I too had my wife get me the 4 day grand prix course $$$$.. It was their vettes and formula Mazda's. See the yellow car in my gallery. Few hours of class room proper lines etc. They supply the suit and helmet and knee pads / jock strap (just kidding).

They let me use my Cobra on the track with the vettes. My feeling without your car being set up to run a road course it was like going from a luxury car to a truck. "Mr Fitz, you need to be shifting into 3rd right here going onto the strait"! WTF! I remember my instructor saying WTF when he was doing a lap in the Cobra. I remember not liking the passsender seat. But the ride with Bondurant himself makes you really feel like a weak little *****....

Anyway I used my Cobra for about 1.5 hours and went back to the Vette. I could never and still don't do the heal toe thingy. Just can't get it. Maybe that is why I spun out few times at the Bondurant 80th Party. That was a dam blast as well.

Anyway most all of us don't have track tires so you slide all over the place.
Went back for a refresher course 2 years after I did the grand prix. By far the most fun I have ever had. Better then sex and it lasts longer
