My Day @ Skip Barber Racing School

[ar0ck]

A few months ago I won a contest from Car & Driver for a free pass for Intro to Racing by Skip barber Racing School. So today I started my morning very early today to head up to Lime Rock Connecticut. I arrived nice & early around 8:30ish for a 9 o'clock class. When I got to the gates of Lime Rock I was speachless I have never been here before but I have seen it countless times on Speed. Boy was I in for one amazing day! I'll let the pictures explain the rest...

Damn, Paul Newman sure does love to drive. So did you get any seat time in anything?

Yeah i spent about 4 hours in those Dodge Formula Cars (car #61, red) , powered by 2.0 4cyls & a 4 speed gear box. It was amazing!
