Well put OJoe, I felt exactly the same. I've autox'd/rallyx'd, did driving schools and trackdays, but to me, it all boils down to seat time. The more you have, the more you are comfortable with your car and know how it will react in certain situations, granted you've been in that given situation. So if most of your seat time is going <35 mph, you'll be prepared for that but not necessarily taking a high speed corner, etc.

Oh, and had a good kick out of that pyramid article. I guess rally drivers are in a separate box all to its own beside the pyramid, who likes any woman that doesn't get car sick (so he can con her into being a co-driver) and likes to read repair manuals

Anyone else coming?
Hmmm, like a few other folks, weekdays are a little though for me, but its early enough that I might be able to. May have to put in my request to my bosses (at work and at home )
