Quarter-miles quicker than 10 seconds, burnouts that last more than a minute, and heavy g’s around a corner with your face against the glass; all speed-related and all are cool. But, if you get a chance to attend a Skip Barber multiday racing or driving class, you will truly become addicted to the sensation of speed.
Sometimes we forget that speed is not just acceleration, but reaction and smooth transitions. The autocross, threshold braking, skidpad, and shifting exercises define what we love about cars—speed with elegance. I never knew how much I didn’t know until I went through their program. Controlled speed is a form of art; get some today.
Christmas is coming Henry, seriously tell someone you want this package and it will happen. I promise you will not be disappointed. Keep in mind that there’s only one danger and that’s you will want more (I have been four times), and this drug addiction can be expensive too.
