Saw my first 1m today and got to be a passenger on the trackk!

So I'm tracking my S4 at Calabogie motorsports park today, and I saw my first 1M. The owner was an instructor, and graciously took me out for a few laps.
Thanks Guy! It's going to make my last two weeks wait for my VO even harder!

Just got a report about the 1M from two buddies -- one of whom will be traveling to Atlanta with me next Friday to pick up my 1M - who are instructing at Calaboogie. Apparently the car is running very well.

If you see Woody Hair or Klaus Hirtes, say hi to them for me.

Thanks.

Guy, the instructor, was a great driver and real nice guy. He drove that 1M very hard and fast. As I was only a passenger, it was hard to imagine how I would find driving it as my skills are quite a bit less than his, but it seem really nicely balanced. On one corner, he had it sliding for a bit, and it seemed very well controlled. The only thing non-stock was the tires. He had it for a month and loves it. I hope to be back next year with the 1M and hopefully have him for an instructor.

Sorry, did not see them. There were about 50 instructors and 100 students.
Thank them for me, for volunteering their time!
