My son sure drove that 88 300Te very well!!!! It has over 200,000 miles on it and is well worn as I have used it to tow my sailboat , my former SPecRenault and my former 190E ITE/ITs racecars .

When he was 16 I took him to SKIP BARBER DRIVING SCHOOL at ROAD AMERICA and we both went trough the program . Of course I thought I new a lot about driving and racing .


(Started racing a Formula Vee in the mid 70's as well as a 1970 VW bug dubbed "HERRBIE" which raced as a c sports racer because of the 13 inch 8 spoke Jackmam wheels I ran on it .I also autocrossed a DATSUN 2000 -former pikes peak racer , a Porsche 911 69 T , a Porsche 914 2.0 ,Porsche 944 , a HONDA CRX-SI former ONE LAP OF AMERICA CAR , and a 73 VW Superbeatle that was stock except for the deep sump and 4 mag wheels with a set of used Pirrelli CN36 tires off of a 930 Turbo!!!! on it - I raced it once at a Corvette club autocross and when I registered they kind of laughted and told me I would run with the small block Corvette class. Well to make this long story short I went home with the first place trophy in class and made a few Corvette drivers mad!!!)

But I found out it was hard to correct some of the mistakes that I had practiced for so many years !!!! My son got a fresh start to learn to drive at the limit correctly . If you have ever wanted to toss your car around and learn how it handles at the edge I would highly recommend taking it to an autocross .
KEEP ON RACING

NEXT STOP JUNE 6th where we will race on a gokart track with the cars!!!!
