April: did you upload those pics from the alfa event yet???

April

I've only got a few. A friend took a lot more than me, and he's sending me a CD with all the pics.

Rick Knoop (dark hair) and Tony Tony Adamowicz (reddish blonde) were the guest instructors for the race group. Rick is famous for driving everything from LeMans/Daytona for Mazda, to Tyrrells, to NASCAR. Tony racing Ferraris and Porches.

Here's the race group filing into the hot pits for their session. At the end of every school, there is a graduation race between all race class participants who wish to run. I didn't stay for the race this time, but it's usually a very good show.

This Rabbit was wicked, but broke an axle on Saturday. It was up and running again on Sunday.

We usually see a few vintage race cars show up, and this time was no exception. Gorgeous old Mustang.

The school is broken up into Street Performance, Time trial, and Race groups.

Here's the street performance group at the skidpad.

Some Alfas in the Time Trial group.

Caterhams are available to rent if you drive something totally unsuitable (and that's a stretch, since we've had an Isuzu Vehicross participate) or want to try something different.

These GTVs are extremely popular as they have a great history of being giant killers in vintage racing, and plenty of parts abound.

This Accord was totally gutted. Fast in a straight line, it needed sorting in the corners. Probably why the owner brought it.

Turbocharged MR2 known as an MR-S. It was pretty nuts. Even with the boost turned down, it was tricky to drive with that short wheelbase. It spun on the track at least once.

This young man inherited this lovely BMW tii (mechanical fuel injection). Nice to see it being used, but not abused.

My poor car after arriving home. Dirty beast! Never skipped a beat.

Atleast seeing that pic reminds me of her. Did you see that TopGear episode where she makes fun of Jeremy's time in a Jag diesel? And in another episode she flys around in this huge van overtaking people left and right lol. You might not even know who I'm talking about lol.

April

Familiar with Sabine. She's the best!

April,

Who is the guy in the blue &amp; white Inter Port driving suit? He looks like Jeremy Clarkson, the editor of BBC Top Gear in the UK.

Rick Knoop. Very nice soft spoken fellow. Drives black Beetle!?!?!
