Ivan, thanks again for another great event. I really appreciate how you open your shop up to the enthusiasts and even provide food while you're at it!
The topic was great. Bob really is a wonderful speaker and knows his stuff. I look forward to many more of these tech talks at IMA. I did want to mention that I would be interested in talking more about a track day to put some of this information we are learning to practice.

Also, it was nice to finally meet a few of you who I have talked to online.

Here are some of the shots I took today.

+1. I enjoyed it very much. My wife wasn't too happy - she thought we were leaving at 1.

I'm going to have to figure out a way to get my summer tires and helmet down here in time to do some of these events

Thanks again for hosting us, Ivan. It was interesting learning about all the different topics Bob talked about. I particularly enjoyed the topic of spinning out and how much steering and throttle to give it to regain control. Looking forward to the next one. I probably won't have pics up till tomorrow. I'll try for tonight but no promises

Ivan,
Thanks for hosting the event today. I learned that I don't know how to drive.
Looking forward to the next chapter in the series.

BTW, how do you keep your shop so clean?

By the way, here's the NSX I was talking about with the tires on the spoiler...I was mistaken, they're not actually on the spoiler, but he has a separate rack built just for the tires haha.

Thumbs up Thanks and Welcomes

Want to take a moment and thank all of you who attended what I think is the first of a series of presentations that we will host regarding Vehicle dynamics and driving techniques and tips. I hope you all enjoyed Bob, he is the greatest. I have known him for about 18 years or so and I still enjoy listening to his presentations.
The topics and discussion that we held yesterday are useful for any person that is currently driving or will soon as we had a few youngsters almost ready to take on the rest of us on the road. I find it extremely useful all the time. We as drivers take a lot for granted when we are on the road, can you imagine what the rest of the drivers got going on. CLUELESS!!! For those of you that have kids or significant others please do not hesitate in bringing them along as it good info for them.
I am going to see how I can get a hold of a parking lot near here to do some exercises on the stuff that you will be learning. Applying it in a closed environment is a great way to learn.
I also want to recognize a couple of people for there help was invaluable to put the event together. Ron Cannizzaro, Mike Derby, my wife Jennifer and Bob Williams. Thank you for all your support and dedication to IMA Motorsport. Stay tuned for new dates.
