This was fun...

A few weeks ago, my mother-in-law asked me why I don't do volunteer work. I told her I did, just not in the conventional ways that she approves of. On Saturday, I volunteered to judge a BBQ contest.

Last Friday, I was a driving instructor for a March of Dives fund raiser at Road America. I got to instruct, critique, and ride along,at speed, in the following cars.

Ferrari F-430 Scuderia track model



Porsche Cayman



Nissan GTR



Porsche Panamera



Mitsubishi EVO



Camero SS



And a nicely done 350 Chevy powered 2nd gen Mazda RX-7



I even got to drive my car in the afternoon. Later we had a nice dinner with talks by David Hobbs and Brian Redman.

A very enjoyable day. Someone has to do it.

Don't know what possibly be fun about that. Ferrari is gorgeous !
"got to drive your own car in the afternoon". What car is that?

Volunteer, HA! Looks like you had fun! Would that all volunteer work came with rides in supercars and free BBQ tastings!!!!

Since I don't have a roll bar in the Italia, I had to drive my BMW 330Ci. The 5 prefix in the number indicates an instructor.  



Hey, I crew for thee race teams, mostly for expenses. I also drive cars, for friends, to local shine and shows, two or three times a week. Idle hands are the tools of the devil.

SWEET !!!  

Finally an Mazda I can respect! And one that that has a decent exhaust note.
A fun day & thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Chris
