Had an AWESOME time. I think @buzznasa, @BRZkitty, and Matt would all agree. It was wet all day and got progressively wetter and wetter. haha.

We were in the noob group, so the first two sessions were just learning the track and doing slow passing drills in small groups. After getting out there on our own in the 3rd session, I think we all finished with big smiles on our faces, despite frequently getting stuck behind clumps of cars grouped together.

In the 4th and 5th sessions, we put ourselves in the front of the pack so that we had more space to work with and started pushing it to our own driver limits. Best car experience ever!!

Yes, it was cold, wet, and windy, but the wet track actually did not take anything away from the learning experience. In fact, it provided more, because it allowed us to experience the consequences of upsetting the vehicle at much lower speeds than if it was dry.

Anyone who enjoys driving should sign up for an HPDE at least once to experience it!!

BTW, thanks to @BRZkitty for preparing the sandwiches, and @buzznasa for bringing us together. Great company, and great driving.
