It was probably 10 years ago. I'm sure it's not that bad now! <br><br>I used to do 2 events per year, from 1993-2003, and for quite a while ran in run group 2 as a solo. Not having a very fast car, and not wanting to do 8-12 events per year made me rethink why I did the schools. I continued for a while to keep my skills sharp, but the last 5 or 6 years didn't really learn anything. I witnessed too many bad drivers out there, and when I got put in group 3 one time, I was held up about 50% of the time on the track, and the frustration made the event a drag. A few times I was put in group 1, and I just gave the point by too often.Mon, 17 Mar 2008 18:39:47 GMTdanarussian http://www.boston-bmwcca.org/InstantForum/Topic317-6-1.aspxI remember a friend remarking on the big difference in announcing style at scda vs boston.<br>He said "WOW!
