full-time product specialist, and he has been extensively trained in
the product line by BMW North America. The dealership and BMW NA have
been providing him with resources and making him available to drive at our
HPDEs for a few seasons now. He is a storehouse of information about the
F body and G body cars many of our students are driving on track now, and he's
always happy to answer questions or give a short presentation during lunch
hour. He's also a quick driver
on the track. Early last season,
BMW NA put him in a
new i4 and sent him to one of
our HPDEs. BMW wanted to
give us a chance to start wrapping
our heads around future
HPDEs, when we will be
teaching students in cars
with thrust-vectoring traction
control and massive wheel
torque.
We wrap up the social
hour on time, and I'm pleased
to see good turnout for the
track walk. George volunteers
to give the analysis of the key
spots. Between his long
HPDE experience and his employment at SPMP, he's the perfect guy for the job,
and everybody sees things more clearly by the time we're done.
We have a great time at the potluck, and I leave about 8:30 or 9:00
extremely well-fed. I see people have spread out in smaller groups all over
the paddock, and there are several hardwood fires going. I stop at a few,
and eventually settle in for a bit over at Mike's, where he's showing " Talladega
Nights " projected on the big,
white side of his car transport
trailer.

repeat of the day schedule on
Saturday, and we manage to
stay right on schedule once
again. People start heading
out Sunday afternoon, earlier
or later depending on how far
the drive home will be.
A remarkable number of them
take the opportunity to find me
in the paddock before they
leave, tell me what a good time
they've had, and they look
forward to doing it again soon.
