School
The school went great. We had a big turnout, and some awesome cars. There were 5 Ferrari 360 Challenge cars, a Porsche GT3RS (that's the full race version, eligable for ALMS, Grand Am and the 24 Hours of Lemans), lots of cool Alfas, Corvettes, 911s, etc.
Roberto Guerrero was the BEST. He was a great instructor, and everyone seemed to enjoy his insight into getting around a race track. He brought a stack of 8X10 photos of him in the Alfa Indy Car and he signed them for anyone who wanted one. Mine is attached.
Jesse James, host of Monster Garage was one of the race students. He brought out his 360 Challenge (flat black with red flames coming out of the wheel wells). He and I went out for some "demonstration laps" at lunch on Sunday (I was driving the red Ferrari360 - same one I raced in Fontana). It was cool.
Then, Jesse had to take off, so I got to race his Ferrari in the "graduation race" Sunday.
My weekend was particularly cool. At lunch on Saturday, I drove a Caterham Super 7 for a handful of laps, and then spent the rest of the hour in Steve Goldman's yellow Ferrari 360 Challenge. Saturday afternoon (after most people had returned to the hotel) I got to take out the Porsche GT3RS for about 20 laps. Very cool car! Most fun I have ever had driving! Sunday, I drove the red Ferrari, and then raced Jesse's black Ferrari.
So, for me, it was a good weekend, even if Jesse's car ran out of gas during the race.
