Advanced Driving Clinic?

[Workdawg]

hmm... a little advanced driving to break in my new car I guess

 

[Picklz]

What better place to break it in I say! If you've mastered the clutch by then that is.

 

[Workdawg]

a very good point. I have test driven it probably a dozen times though. I'm sure I'll put a ton of miles on it the day I buy it. I have a special route home planned just for the turns and stuff on the way.

 

[Picklz]

Ohh yeah I forgot you've already put some miles on in a Speed, I drove one like 3 miles and was like DONE order me one! lol.

 

[Picklz]

Lets try and keep this about the driving clinic now.

Please take any talk about Opus to the private side. It's a respectabel thing to due for those who know about the place and want to keep it's fun aspect from hitting rock bottom.

I would be in for this but after hearing Jeffs story this makes me weary...

This is a lot smaller course, you won't see the speeds that Jeff hit. You really would have to do something pretty damn stupid to ball it up.

Is the date April 19th? I got that day off I just dont know if all the snow and salt will be gone, and im obsessive over not driving her until its all gone and washed away.

This sounds like a lot more fun than drag racing! If its a for sure thing I will attend!

Edit: I contacted progressive and sent them the details the event contained, and they said as long as I am the one operating my vehicle I would be covered. Which contradicts what TCspeed6 has said about his Progressive contact... Hmm?

 

[mndsm]

It's driving instruction, not a race event. You will have an instructor in the car with you.

Get it in writing that you will be covered at the specific event you are attending or I would take it with a grain of salt (no pun intended). This is considered a educational / training event so you might have a better chance, but I wouldn't count on it. We have had a member find out the hard way that even if it's not a 'timed' event they can deny coverage since it's not on public roads.

 

[Workdawg]

Indeed need some more info.

Are we looking at going to this exact event or just setting a similar one up? If this event where / how do we register, and do we know what it costs to become a 'member' as it says membership required for the event.

Well I got it in an email.... does that count?

 

[Picklz]

It might help, depending on who it was from and how it was worded. It'd be better to be signed from your insurance agent or company but they likely won't do that. Might not hurt to ask, though.

 

[cosmicspd3]

so any update?

 

[mndsm]

I've been trying to get details, but we've not been able to get in contact with the guy. I'll try again tonight, mebbe.

 

[Workdawg]

Find out if you can if we need to be members of whatever it is that is required. How much that costs and how we become members if it is required.

My grandparents are moving on the 19th, so I may not be able to make it
My uncle hired "Two men and a Truck" to move them though, so they might not need my help.

 

[mndsm]

Well folks, I kinda screwed this one up. My bad.
