[Shotimes] SHOs invade SVT land

[SVTSHO (Bill Byrer)]

Having run a couple of SVTOA events, I would like to add to Dons comments. 
SVTOA has an excellent chief instructor, Jeff, whose only concern is that 
you, your car, and the other particpants have a safe, fun, and learning 
experience. The other instructors are equally experienced and everybody 
regardless of experience can learn something.

After the instruction there is track time like the SHO conventions, 
spectators are welcome. There might be some interesting people and cars 
there. The last event I attended had Boris Said in a 2000 Cobra R giving 
rides.

Attend if you can.
Bill
