Ian,
In the excitement of learning the new track, I forgot my instructors name. I really liked his instruction and would like to request him again in future events. Again thanks for a great event. I really like the lightning track and cant wait to try Thunderbolt.

First and foremost I would like to thank you for the SCDA, I was impressed with how well organized the SCDA event played out. I enjoyed the day at NJMP with everyone and look forward to future events this year and next. Francis Dance (instructor) was very pleasant and simply put a lot of fun to have in the car. I’m pleased that Francis has given the green light for me to run in the intermediate class at NJMP. Anyway thanks for the last event I look forward to SCDA day at Thunderbolt Raceway.

Hello SCDA :
I had a great time at last Thursday's event -- one of the most enjoyable days I have had in a long time. The classroom instruction, the on-track instruction, the general ambience -- all first rate!

Hi, Ian.
I had a great time at the event on Monday. It was well-organized and the participants were courteous and everyone displayed great track etiquette. I really enjoyed riding with Mark Gregory. Mark pointed out the different driving lines and offered some great advice on car balance. When I get the chance to attend an SCDA school, I hope to have Mark as an instructor again.

Ian,
Thanks for a GREAT time on Tuesday. That's a nice group you have. I think that the #24 SCDA Spec Miata car may have ruined me for other vehicles. It's hard to believe just how forgiving and neutral it was. A very good car to learn on.
Thanks also, for kind of sheparding me through. I'm looking forward to joining you again next season.

Ian,

Ian,
Nice to meet you on Monday as well as the rest of the SCDA crew. Everybody was friendly, helpful, courteous and the rest of the superlatives that would take too long to list. Along with the participants that make SCDA, SCDA provided me with an enjoyable time these past two days.
Although I didn't resolve my suspension problems completely, it was great to get the car on track and meet a group of car enthusiasts who are "car enthusiasts". I think the best part of the two days was watching my novice buddy Maciej confidence grow due to the guidance of his instructors and seeing him solo.
Kudos to SCDA.

Just a quick note to thank everyone for a fantastic 2 day experience at the Glen! The event was extremely well organized and everything was first rate. I’ve been singing your praises to fellow gearheads the last two days! You have a great organization, keep up the good work!

Tripp and I had a great time at Watkins Glen! We were very impressed with how you and SCDA run the program compared to other events we have participated in previously.
Thanks again for a great time at Watkins Glen.

Hello Ian,
We just wanted to thank you for a great weekend at Watkins Glen! My wife and I were impressed with the way you and your staff organized and ran the event. Keeping the event on time to the minute is a notable, and very much appreciated, feat in itself. All of the members of your team were extremely professional and helpful. The combination of the groups in the afternoon worked very well and I really appreciated and enjoyed the extra track time this provided. We are looking forward to attending as many of your events as we can, and hopefully the New Jersey event in September.

Thanks again for putting on another great event and for the Spec Miata rental!

As far as I know, there's no better way to exhaust yourself over the course of a day than driving on a classic road course like Lime Rock Park, Watkins Glen etc etc...and there's no better, more efficient group than SCDA to make the most of every minute of that day. This is no "club"...this is a serious, well run business providing serious fun. I'll be at every event for which I can budget the time, no question.

Hi Ian,
I had a wonderful time on Monday at Monticello but I didn't get a chance to drop off my evaluation. I wanted to make sure you knew how wonderful I thought my instructors were throughout the day. I drove with Mark and Paul. They were both great in showing me the lines as well as assisting me with getting comfortable driving my car on a track. They were both confident in their abilities but were also very patient with me.
I look forward to participating in other SCDA events. Rod C. did a great job convincing me to sign up for Monticello and I'm glad he did!
Best,

SCDA :
Thank you very much for the truly amazing time yesterday at Lime Rock. This was my first time on a road course and it could not have been any better, you and your team host an extremely enjoyable event. I felt so welcome and any anxiety about being the “new guy” vanished quickly. The other drivers were all great to talk with and readily offered guidance to help me out, I made many new friends. The structure of the day was ideal for a first timer with a great mix of classroom and track time, no questions went unanswered. And my in car instructor, Randy, was phenomenal!. Perfect amount of guidance and reassurance allowing me to build on my abilities each lap and throughout the day. Your event exceeded my high expectations....it was certainly safe, low pressure, and VERY FUN! Zero regrets, it was a perfect day and I just registered for two more of your track events. Thanks again!

Ian,
I would just like to tell you I had an AMAZING time today. It was a blast. You and your sister are so awesome and it was a pleasure meeting all of you today. The event seemed very smooth and organized and I have not one complaint! Trevor my instructor was absolutely OUTSTANDING!!! I really hope he will be there on May 17th at Monticello. I know I'll certainly be.
Once again, thank you so much for an awesome time!

Hello SCDA
I just wanted to send a short e-mail to say how much of a fun and learning experience I had at my first time out at one of your events (as a novice on April 19th in NH). The event exceeded my expectation and Chris R. my instructor was great, it was nice to see him sit in on the classes and be able to pull that information onto the track. He was also very good at relaying information as well as small things like track courtesy and how to treat track employees (flag, corner workers). Next time I come out I would try to have him as my instructor in the car with me. It might be a small thing but the offer of donnuts, coffee and water during the day was a really nice touch. I have been to other events and you are always taking money out of your pocket all day long. This was real nice and i ended up buying pictures and a SCDA hat (with money i would have normaly had to spend on being at the track). All in all it was a great day and will not be my last event with you.
Thanks Again for a great day filled with nice memories

Ian,
I just wanted to say thanks for a great event at Lime Rock. I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and very efficient use of time. I made it through 5 sessions but the heat finally wore me down and I skipped the last one. It was my first SCDA event and I am sure I will be back for more.

Ian,
Thank you and all the people that made the 2-day session at The Glen happen. I came down for the Tuesday session and had a blast. My instructor Steve Fondakowski was great. I walked away with a lot of new knowledge and a passion to get back to the track ASAP. The classroom instruction was excellent as well. Looking forward to another SCDA session in the future.
All the best,Hadley B. 2011 WRX
Ian,Just wanted to say thank you for a great day yesterday. I had a blast. The schedule was nicely paced as it allowed time for me to check the car over between runs, relax a bit and get in and out of the driving suit between sessions.
The intermediate run group was a nice mix of cars and passes were conducted safely, which to me, driving in the Caterham, is very important. I'll definately do more days with you.
I've posted a brief note on the USA7's board and mentioned that it would be a good opportuinity to get a bunch of seven's out on the track together. Several guys have expressed interest. There is a nice group of us in the NY/Pa and Maryland/Virginia are that I'll try to organize. NJMP is a nice central location for all of us so I hope you'll be back.Tom G. Caterham 7
Ian:
I am just one of the many drivers who showed up at the Glen this week and no, we did not meet. I just wanted to let you know that I thought you ran a first class event. I was in the intermediate group and used an instructor for the first two sessions to learn the track (Dan Reiter) and was very pleased with his knowledge and expertise. He certainly helped me shorten the learning curve (or curves, in this case). Everyone seemed to be very competent and courteous….good things on a crowded track with a wide diversity of machines and experience.
Again, I enjoyed my experience and will probably attend another of your events in the future.
Thanks very much,Raymond P. BMW Z4 M Coupe
