I'm goin to racing school!
Hehe yup! My school is doing a "field trip" kinda thing to a racing school. It's going to be at Sears Point!

It should be fun! Now all I gotta do is get my parents to sign this liability paper..."You will not sue us if you get hurt" blah blah blah...LOL!

Hmmm...racing....sounds like they're gonna use manuals...I don't know how to drive one!!! Oh well, maybe they can teach me!

Normally this would cost about 3 bills, but it's only $15 for us! Hahah...this should be hella fun, I'll take my camera with me and maybe I'll take a few shots of my friends or somethin.

Damn... in future meets, we're not gonna race you cuz you'll be part pro. j/k

It's not hard learning a manual... depends on the clutch... it took me an hour to get it down. So you should be fine as long as you don't clutch ***** the stops Share more info lataz. Sounds kew.

I went to racing school about 2 years ago at Frank Hawley's in Florida. Definitely not with my high school and it cost a pretty penny. But it was the best thing I ever did in my entire life! Kicked most of the boys butts too!

Naaa, any decently prepared race car will have a short clutch pedal which will be alot easier and quicker to push in than your std road car. Also they'll have short throw shifters and other aids to help the driver shift.

Biggest thing is knowing what gear the car needs to be in in each turn. Takes a run or two to get it down.

ive seen some racing school advertisements in mags, and they always show a fleet of mustangs, so that's probably what you'll be drivin, unless theyr'e cheap. Then they'll probably put you in a old camaro.

Awesome man, they'll probably show you how do drive a stick, then immediately advance to heel and toe downshifting.
