I like that attitude Steve! I need to focus on clean runs and see if I can go 2-2 as the 'husband' instructor. This is a fine line. :lol:

That decreasing 7 coner last weekend was a workout, but fun and you definitely couldn't get behind or you were doomed. I think that's where most of my destruction was.

Steve, split run groups? It might quiet some of the complainers who don't like AAO :).


I think I might be the only one of those people.

I was hoping this cooler weather would hold out for Sunday, but its looking like its gonna be a scorcher again.

You can do it. Bernie instructed me at VIR the one track event I did, and he's the only reason I'd ever go back. Just remember it's all about having fun.

Actually, I didn't mind the slalom and the wallom last Sunday. At least the taxiway seemed safer than usual. :o

No, I'm in that boat too. I don't mind AAO, but I wouldn't mind changing it up every now and then. AAO definitely has it's disadvantages.

I agree about that, and it definitely needs to be as those pines aren't getting any smaller.

My approach is to just continue to keep it simple, not criticize to much, and give LOTS of positive feedback. A boost of confidence goes a long way for a beginner. :D

Finally registered. Probably my swan song for the year, so you're all going down.

This would be my favorite combo event EVER. I bet a cutting horse could make an impressive showing on some of these courses! :D We'd have to create a new class... :wink:

OK, me and the wife are pre-registered.

And no Les, I'm not letting her drive the Mustang!
