This is at Autobahn from inside my students car, I was told that I was only the third person to ever drive the car and take it easy

Great time to those that have never been it should be on the Bucket List for sure.


Thanks to all involved

Ken,

Thanks for coming out again to instruct. Students hit paydirt when assigned to you!

It's quite a change watching a video of you driving a car so gently! Nice job preserving the students equipment and showing the proper line.

Great video, Ken! I need to talk to you about what you are using to edit and what settings you are running the GoPro's on? JD

Nice music choice. I'm sitting here editing my videos listening to the same song. Make sure to submit all your HD videos to me to be included in the compilation video.

I always drive smooth......Neil goes to me, I want you to take me for a ride in my car, but I don't want you to drive it like you drive yours

This was Neil's video but now seeing these I want to grab a few Go Pros

Sweet video and driving. Maybe one day I will drive a students car, right now I worry too much about the liability.

Well I'm not really driving at 100% more like 80% with a lot of room for error. If I worried to much about what could happen I would never sit in the passenger seat as an instructor, I'm sure the risks are greater there.

Absolutely, I was making a point that you were respectful to Neil's car. My gentle comment did not imply you're never smooth!

No doubt. More than likely a student will not have the acumen to counter-steer, etc.. as required to a on the edge situation as you would, of course they would also be going a lot slower too.

That is some sweet hand work there. No unneeded movements and smooth as glass. Now if I could just to be that smooth.

Ken was awesome to have an instructor. I picked up so much time from the morning of session one to the end of day two. I really learned how slow I was after riding shotgun to Ken. An amazing experience.

@jason, I have tried to upload the videos but have not been successful with the login. If this problem persists, I may just send you a CD of the video.

Here's one of me driving the last day...not as fast as Ken but fast for me.
