Subject: Re: solo1
I participated in the event below. I had only been to one "Street School" at
Thunderhill before the Time Trial event. My experience before that was only
autocross. I thought the event was well run by friendly people. As I recall
there were only about 6 cars entered and I can understand how that adversely
affects future events. That said, I would participate in similar events. It
had lots of seat time and the benefit of times to compare your performance
against, and at a good price too.
