Default Updated Drivers education checklist

I've updated the checklist now based on sore personal experience. The list gets bigger and bigger...

Smile That's Better

Now print off several copies and tape them up all over your house and inside your car.

It's attached to my forehead right now and I'm getting toilet paper printed with it on every sheet also ...

Ouch you guys use regular paper for tee-pee over at your house...I am not coming over for dinner, last thing I need is a paper cut on my rear.

Thanks for updating the checklist. You left off the main part about attaching walnut sack before heading to the track.

Wink Mercy Please

Folks, I think Billy feels bad enough already. I think the point has been driven home. His heart is in the right place, but his lack of prep is killing him. I think he knows that.

Billy I do commend you for having the "stones" to even post how your open track day went. You knew that you were setting yourself up for ridicule, that takes courage also. As the Beatles once said, "let it be"

I learned an even harder way than Billy did about bringing extra pads

drive 6 hours from VIR to Clemson SC with the front pads on the backing plates... that'll do more for you than any checklist can

Billy knows I love him. I do my best to help him out by ensuring I am the one that does the stupid things.
