Evolution Autocross School near Boston

I went to the Evolution Performance Driving school, hosted by the Boston BMW CCA this Saturday and Sunday.

The short of it: it was wicked awesome. The long of it is in my original thread here (thoughts and details).

PICTURES ARE HERE:

I took a bunch of photos of the folks that were with me in the Phase I school Saturday and Phase School II Sunday. If any of you are reading this, it was great meeting you! Hope we meet again!

Here's a short sampling of pics...

MB C63 AMG Black Series was a sick-sounding beast that even the instructors had a difficult time keeping under control:


Some of the rotary crew on Saturday:


Aww, one more pic of me, cause I'm cool:

I strongly recommend this school if you want to get into autocross or improve your driving skill. Even doing just day 1 (phase I) is worth it.

Oh yeah, and mud flaps are not autocross-friendly. At least not when you're learning!

Let's just say I was a hit with the cones.

No big deal, it's flimsy plastic (the first time it just bent the bottom back like a dog's ear), I'm just going to drop the mudflaps for now (maybe put them back on for the winter).
