Andy and Sandy Hit the Track |
We haven't done any real racing, but we've both been able to get out
onto the track. In fact, all four of our cars, (Eagle Talon, Toyota Celica, and
Ford Explorer, BMW M3) have been on a race track. (Ok, not necessarily at
speed). I've taken several performance driving classes from a great outfit
called Track Time,
including a stock car driving school at Michigan International Speedway. I've
recently replaced my Talon with the M3, and am looking forward to logging lots
of track miles with it. Sandy has taken rides at speed with instructors at
Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Putnam Park, and Michigan International
Speedway.
