Jeremy, as you have questions come up about that 2000 GT, feel free to shout them my direction. I too have a 2000 GT that is warped and have found a lot of the bugs in the car, wiring and certainly the motor!Quote:

LOL.. The first time I met Sam was my first event to instruct for Misti... she said "could you ride with this guy, Sam, he would like to get under 2 min" my reaction was "WHAT!?!?????, In a street car?. Hell, I hadn't even broke 2 in my race car..." Sam and his girl are a great couple and will be a great addition to the AI/CMC family... I look for her get the bug and I'm sure she will at least run in TT or share time with Sam in CMCQuote:

We make it to T3 before it hits me, "this guy's going really fast -- I hope he doesn't screw up 5-6!" By the time we hit T9, I was satisfied he wasn't ging to kill u both and settled down to enjoy myself. Two sessions later I signed him off to solo. (I would have swigned him off sooner, but I was really enjoying the ride!)
Last weekend I instructed Troy.
Guys, look out! The first session out, he was a bit lost on track, but by session 2, he had maybe 70% of the track down, and by the end f session 3, he had it down and was driving a good consistant line. His car control is excellent, and he's got good instincts. I remmber one situation where h made a late pass on a slower Miata in the 6-7 straight and came into 7 pretty hot. I was thinking he would make an early turn-in, being out of position at mid-track instead of being driver's right.
Nope, he adjusted his line perfectly and got through T7 without scrubbing any speed at all and was 100% on-line at the apex.
Of course I attribute hi success Sunday all to the most excellent instruction he got! :D
My name is Tony and I'll be joining you guys soon enough. I've got my open-air AI car already and I just picked up my suit and all the safety gear. A relative of mine said Texas AI/CMC was the best, but from some of the videos I've seen I'm sure I could take you guys.
Anyway...thanks for the welcome and I'll see you on track soon!
