Survived Road Atlanta

[Hank Dondero]

Just returned from a two day school at Road Atlanta, and survived. That GD track is a real piece of work. I had more trouble with the Esses and down hill into turn 12 than I could have ever imagined.

After several spins and two off track events down the front straight at about 100, I am happy to say life is great. The only consellation to the front straight events was head instructor Joe Foster's comment that he once had a similar trip. Hhe didn't get back on the track until after he took out the 200 ft sign at the entrance to turn 1!

I am amazed at the brass ones real racers have as they come down the hill into turn twelve side by side and bumping, or into the Esses doing al kinds of wild stuff.

School was great with plenty of track time, and passing and jousting with the instructors. Needless to say, I was the passee and not the passor in all but intentional point bye's by the instructors.

I now have to do a pile of soiled undergarments, so please excuse me for now.
