While I was down in Vegas with Mix, my wife sent me a message telling me that she had purchased my birthday present. My birthday is a little over a month away so she was going to have some fun teasing me. I'm really good at guessing these things, so ever since I've return from Vegas I have been playing 20 questions with her. I didn't come close to guessing.
Finally, I had badgered my wife enough and she decided to come clean and tell me what the gift was. You see, last summer I bought a Corvette. The car is in impeccable condition and the previous owner had completed some after-market performance improvements. So needless to say the car is fast, very fast. In fact, if you ask my insurance company, you'll find that I like to go fast too. :-)
One thing I've always liked to learn more about is performance driving. My insurance company along with my wife would prefer that I learn this on a track. So as a present Lauri registered me for the High Performance Driving class at ProFormance Racing School.
"This course is designed to improve your street survival driving skills and advanced car control techniques while exposing you to the thrill and excitement of high performance driving. This sport is one of the fastest growing recreations in our nation for both men and women. The curriculum is the starting point to becoming a ProFormance driver.
The day starts out with a 90 minute classroom session followed by exercise in advanced car control and street survival skills. An in-depth knowledge of vehicle dynamics, skid control, and brake application is established.
The afternoon is a total driving experience on the road course utilizing all of the skills and techniques acquired in the morning sessions. Always accompanied by a qualified instructor, participants develop a more proactive driving relationship with their car. Our goal is to teach you to think faster than you drive.
The use of your personal car is recommended for skill and relationship development however school cars are available."
Sounds like fun.
On a related note, it is official: I have the most awesome wife on the planet. Love you Lauri. Thank you.
This will be very cool. If you've ever taking a class like this, drop me a line and let me know what I can expect.
