Yeah. It's more like semi-organized fun runs. Timer running, but no times recorded. No classes. Lots of runs. Kind of like a test and tune, but not really. Low intensity, no pressure...just driving a course and having fun.

That it was cold enough for tires to have no grip, it was almost more of going out and tossing the car around and getting sideways silly and trying different things to see what happened.

The balloon games were hokey and incredibly stupid, but everyone seemed to enjoy it, so maybe not so stupid.

Not being able to see the course very well in the dark was also pretty cool and was a decent tool at forcing visualization.

Not impossible, but if you knew where to move your eyes/head instead of walking them from element to element, it made things easier/faster.

thanks.

Yes I have been a bit terrified on how to deal with the dove. Just bought Lexol 908 Leather Care Kit and going to give it a try.
