Nice gift to the kid GTO, be sure to let us know how it goes.

A friend of mine is getting married next Spring. He is talking about going to Bondurant's school for his bachelor party. I am looking forward to that...

He's 17. He owns a '97 Jetta with BBS rims and a great stereo. His mother and I got divorced 4 years ago. I want him to learn the right things to do. I know he's gonna do 'em (I did!) so I want to teach him the right way. []

DAMNIT! Skip Barber called and had to cancel my reservations. They oversold the session due to a computer glitch! DAMNIT! They gave me another option of Aug 23-24 but I think my son has to go back to Michigan for school.[!]

Man, I'm real sorry to hear that. Is there even a wait list? If so, you should be bumped right to the top, immediately.

Maybe there's else something open on your dates: how about drifting school @ Willow Springs Int'l Raceway w/ Danny McKeever's Fast Lane Racing School? Bet he'd be OK with that!

Thanks dholly but Skip Barber is the best. They are popular schools. All the other driving schools that teach this subject are either on the west coast or in Minnesota. Right now I'm waiting on my son to get the absolute dates for when he has to return to Michigan.

Nuthin' but the finest, he says. Bless you Dad, and good luck. Hope you can make it happen. I trust Skippy will give you head-of-the-line status and a decent discount for another date after bumping you like that so close to class!

Well, the new dates for the school are Aug 23-24. He doesn't have to be in school til the end Aug. So it's back on. Already paid for it and they gave me a discount for the inconvenience. []
