Western States Cobra Bash 2008 - Main Thread

[gt350pilot]

I wanted to thank all of those that participated in the track day. The other instructors and I were blown away by the improvement shown through the day. It was apparent that much effort was put in to not only learn the instruction material prior to the event but to the car preperation as well.

Most of our time was spent with those with the least track experience and the amount of speed that groups 1a and 1b were showing by the end of day was impressive. I put over 200 miles on my Saleen for the day so witnessed on the track the growth in confidence shown by you all. Driving a these kinds of cars at these kinds of speeds is not an easy task. Short wheelbases, high horsepower and small tires makes for a car that can very easily bite the driver. Everybody stepped up to the plate and did a great job taming these beasts.

I am sure other instructors will post as well but I wanted to thank you all personally. All of the drivers that participated deserve a big round of applause. I truly enjoyed being out on the track with you all and especially speaking with you during and after the event. Hopefully some kind of track day will take place in the future and I will gladly get out there again.
