    Default Nelson Ledges Drivers School

    I would like to thank everyone that worked at the drivers school this past weekend.....

    Thank you very much...

    My son Jeremiah finished the school without incident, never went off track, as a matter of fact I would say that he would give the guys in ITC a good run for there money...

    I'm very pleased with the way things turned out at the school and I'm very very proud of my son Jeremiah.

    Bill: I am so sorry, I forgot that you were going to be up there. What run group was Jeremiah in? Never mind I see that he was in an ITC car.

    What car? My students were in group 1. (and I left all my track stuff at home this morning).

    I agree, it was a great weekend, great weather (except for Sunday morning - but it could have been MUCH worse), great track (with the exception of the sea gulls at T12 Sunday morning, but it was wet and they were confused), and great students!

    As a first time instructor, that was probably one of the most satisfying non-driving race weekend I have ever had. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

    Congrats to Jeremiah.

    Oh, yeah. Jeremiah is the one who beat the M-3 in practice two Saturday with a time of 1:12.339.

    How many classes is that a track record for????????

    Seriously, I'd like to know how the AMB system did that!!!!!!!

    Good luck, have fun, stay safe.

    Great school! Everyone did a nice job! Thanks to all the workers! Glad everyone had a good time and kept it safe. I didn't see One person I'd have 'trouble' being on track with!

    On another note: Nelson = WOW!!! I ran my school there 10 years ago and told myself that I wouldn't go back... Now, the only thing the current track has in common with back then, is that they are at the same address!!! What a great place to race! I did the test day on Friday and I loved it! Track, paddock, facilities... All great! NICE JOB Nelson!!!

    Jeremiah was running at the time with no transponder, as well as a few other competitors. A photocell was identified to him in error and then was corrected about 20 minutes after the session.

    It was an awesome experience as a first-time student. Everyone drove well and was courteous on track. Felt very safe with this group. Can't wait to start doing regionals in my ITE Mustang....
