Driving

Tomorrow morning, I head northwest to Astoria in the early AM. I am one of the instructors for their 2nd annual Driver's School. This will be my second year volunteering. We are hoping to teach young drivers responsible driving and give them some experience finding the limits of their vehicles and how to get things back under control in a controlled environment, before it happens to them on the road.

Last year's inaugural event was a lot of fun. The kids were great to work with and they seemed genuinely interested in learning.

Hopefully, this year's event will be greeted with the enthusiasm it was last year.

To top it off, there will be an Autocross Sunday open to the public and where the kids can try some of their new skills on the track.

So.. I'll be heading out between 5 and 6 am (whee!) for a 2.5 hr drive up. Hopefully it's not raining and I can have the top off on the X.
