[http://media.putfile.com/SCCA-drivers-school-Nelson-Ledges-16-May-2006](http://media.putfile.com/SCCA-drivers-school-Nelson-Ledges-16-May-2006) Yeah, that’s supose to say 2005. First part is coming out of the pit… Anywho, a car I rented, 1984 VW Rabbit GT-I to do the school. Slow in the straights, fun as hell in the corners. I did ~1:27 laps (best was a 1:26.537 @ 83.2 MPH). The back straight I had my foot planted in 4th the whole time. What’s redline MPH in 4th in a Rabbit? Nothing too impressive, video never does it justice, but whatever. Gave me a shit eating grin. ---

> [@nixad](#): > > So how was the driving school? I want to go to one of those but they seem to cost way too much. $70 SCCA memebership $110 SCCA novice permit $200 SCCA 2 day drivers school The rental for the VW was $1000, that is actually a very reasonable price. I will probably rent out one of my cars when I have them sorted. ---

Should look into a track day before school like that. There was nothing on driving technique, but more on race rules and driving in traffic. ---

> [@98 Red Ex](#): > > I DONT like 4-6, but I LOVE 9-12 I don’t know what to say to this, especially coming from a Civic owner. If you had a domestic I would understand. No mater, the video proves that (those) faster cars in the back straight were slower overall. AND 4 - 6 is where I did most the passing. ---

4+6 7+9 My favorite part of the track right there Have to watch the videos again now that I see the track layout but I think that back straight away looks pretty high speed ---

7 - 9, is actually boring. 2 - 6: My favorite for the course has to be coming down the front straight at the top of fourth, a quick lift to settle the car then dive through 2.( The owner said it can be done flat out and I tried it once, but didn’t have the balls to do it again. ) And then blast through 3 and use up all the track on the far left, brake hard get into third gear and hard into 4-5-6. You can see that my line was really screwed up on the second lap in 3 as I had a car on the left of me. On the third lap I couldn’t take 3 like I wanted because I was closing in fast on the red VW. But when done right you end up in the nasty looking asphualt on the left. ---

They were doing some logging/brush clearing in that area on Friday of the event. I do not know what it looks like now. But there are some very rural sections of the course. ---
