Thanks John and James for the heads up on this one.

I had a blast. And of course found out that there is so much for me to learn to drive better. :-) I am hooked.

I finally decided to go on Friday at noon and drove up to Brainerd that night and stayed at a Super8 motel. The drive up was heavy traffic but did take hwy 10 to 371 so I avoided the 94/Rogers slow down. I still hit some slow traffic but it wasn't too bad.

Driving your own car is the way to go unless you really want to drive their spec car. I think driving your own car makes it much more fun and way cheaper.

Funny how the drive home felt slower (expected) and also how I look at the turns with a different view and wanted to take a better line (turn-in/apex) but would require me to use all the lanes. HA HA!

I can't remember my instructors last name... Jim ????? Really good instructor and after 2 track sessions let me go on my own. He also had me take a passenger to help her understand how to take the proper turn-in and apex. Nice to have the cones there to let you know that.

Fun times!

And got to meet mlomker and swifty too.
