When Bob Bondurant was selling Superformances in Phoenix, part of the sales pitch was having Bob take you for a couple of hot laps around Firebird.
Humbling doesn't come close to describing it. It was an out-of-body experience that was so amazing I truly felt like I was in the presence of pure genius. He was as relaxed and confident as if he was driving to the 7-11 for a six pack.
He steered almost exclusively with the accelerator, drifted like Astaire danced and cleaved the apexes like we were on a straight line.
One of the ultimate thrills of my life, but it was a bit embarrassing to have to fly back to LA with a load in my pants.
