Every now and then we are rewarded/selected for various things. Many may remember a few years ago I got to go to Sebring for a Skip Barber Racing school. Last year I went to SEMA in Vegas. Even though the timing isn't ideal, I am headed out to Birmingham, Alabama today to Barber Motorsports Park for the Porsche Sport Driving School. I will be there until Wednesday hopefully learning how to be a better driver of something rear-wheel drive, since I have no idea how to drive my current car anywhere near its limit :)

This should be a total blast and be a nice distraction from my upcoming weekend.

For those interested, here is a link to the experience:

Thanks Michelin!

This is a Michelin sponsored event. I have no control over the different outings/venues that are selected. Being that DTC is the largest Michelin retailer in the world, the present the company with a variety of events throughout the year. This is just one of them.

Don't be ridiculous. You have to wax first! Yes, we're jealous.
