My Day @ Skip Barber Racing School

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...










Paul Newman (The Actor, Cool Hand look, The Color of Money)












This has to have been the most fun & interesting experience in my life and dare I even say cooler then drag racing...
