My Half Day at Dirtfish Rally School

simply epic... an awesome experience

i advise everyone to go if you havent experienced rally driving before.

you get to do this in someone else's car with proper instruction.

i got to drive a group P spec 09 sti hatch.  had tein suspension, full cage, rally wheels, brakes, dirt tires

i got to learn how to drive a slalom, skidpad, and a short course with different kinds of turns

was taught how to use left foot braking, trail braking, and control a slide with both.

i quickly learned how shitty a driver i was and got better as the day ended.  looking far enough ahead is key key key.

my group p car had issues so my instructor Forest Duplessis (chief instructor, i didnt know at the time, pick him if u go)
exchanged our car for a group n 07 sti worth well over $100,000. 

the group n had a straight cut dog box worth 18k, custom ecu for the active diffs, cage etc etc.  it was a former rally car for team usa and was driven by tanner foust.

a simply awesome experience

at the end of the day the instructors take us round the course at full speed , i simply couldnt stop smiling as he was taking me speeds i wouldnt dare to enter a corner with specially knowing how hard you have to stamp on the un vacuum assisted brakes.

im now saving up for the 2 day rallycross or 3 day full training course.
