WHAT AN ADRENALINE RUSH!!!!
I had more fun at this school (and learned more) in three days than I ever thought possible. The school is located in Pahrump, NV - in the middle of nowhere. The mountains were majestic, but there was not much else to the landscape.
The school uses two hangers for classroom instruction and maintenance, but most of your time is spent out on the course!
Scott Settlemire "The F-Bodfather" met us out at the school. Several of the prospective students from PA did not show, so he was giving seats away to fill the class!
The first day we were trained in proper braking techniques and manueverability. We were also given a demonstration in the proper way to perform a Power Circle in a 2002 SS by Rupert Bragg-Smith, himself.
And of course, there was the driving aspect of the weekend... much time spent on the track. Your final day on the track was reserved for your most WOT experience... whatever you felt comfortable with... in whatever car you preferred. You are able to choose from a Corvette coupe or Z06 or the Camaro SS - all of them from the current 2002 production year. I reached darn near 100MPH in an SS on the back straight on that day.
And to top it all off, Scott treated us to dinner for two nights... :thumbup:
There were so many pictures to take, I had to split them up into several albums... check them all out here...
My Webshots Albums (http://community.webshots.com/user/84berlinetta)
The pictures are broken up among several albums due to the sheer number of them...
Bragg-Smith Day #1 (http://community.webshots.com/album/33015550TSxXLj)
Bragg-Smith Day #2a (http://community.webshots.com/album/33018035YRRWXL)
Bragg-Smith Day #2b (http://community.webshots.com/album/33020341lnRgZm)
Bragg-Smith Day #3 and the return home (http://community.webshots.com/album/33022992RadeRn)
And finally, this fantastic car collection (http://community.webshots.com/album/33021634JGQcaI) owned by one of the Chevy dealership owners from Las Vegas. That was a second-night treat from Scott Settlemire.
I'm looking forward to the availability of some video that was shot as well!
