Thanks to the wife who encouraged the trip, and the boy and his wife taking the old man there.

Rented a Suzuki Swift, caged, on coilovers I guess, seem like good "autocross tires" ( I'm sure something better than that), phenomenal brakes, great little car.

Being passed by hot rod Porsches, Bimmers, Audis, VW GTIs, etc was almost as entertaining as driving the course.

Just did one lap each, me and the boy, and if I'd done one more I wouldn't have stopped until I'd squandered all my worldly possessions... ( though I'm not sure selling my plastic lawn chair and wooden cable reel "table" would get me enough for another lap...).

The English guy behind the counter who set us up was hilarious, too.

What a hoot.

Awesome! Congrats!

Like so many things I wanted to do, checking that box didn't really take it off my list. I want to go back. But I'm glad I got to do it once even if I never do get back.

In reply to Ransom:

Honestly, I think for anyone on this board, anything of that stripe is a perpetual list item....

If we have an excuse to go back before I leave, I will.
