Had a tremendous time pushing myself in the Hellcat. Class was intensive, competitive, and uncomfortable at times. Drove my Charger today and it all felt like slow motion after ripping around the autocross and road courses. Highly recommend. Instructors even took both my kids 7 and 10 for 2 hot laps around the road course track. Drifted and did burn outs for them.

So much more fun tearing up someone else’s stuff :ROFLMAO:. Can’t think of a much better way to spend a weekend with the kids. I’m sure you get some cred. points with them now.

That's awesome!!! Definitely will be a life long memory for you and the kids. And be careful because it's a highly addictive and EXPENSIVE sport.

Kids came the last 2 hours on the last day. They watched from the tower above the finish line. Kids asked me after the first day how fast on the straight aways...shit didn't even look as so focused on driving and improving my angles, etc. Did a lot of 65-70 mph controlled braking/skids in different cone lanes. Got more comfortable going fast than I was before as I learned the car's limits. Car was harder to handle the second day due to hotter weather. I was racing on the road course when he took the kids (which I asked him the first day if he could). Definitely a memory we will have forever.

I’ve had the pleasure of going twice. At this stage in my life it’s better than sex. 44364AD2-AC2C-43FD-B53B-C0137DDC5946.jpeg 61E0DFDD-9FEE-49D3-9F03-58EDEAAA86A5.jpeg

They have a Viper GTR. Said they recently stopped driving it (students) due to high maintenance costs.

Also a Durango Hellcat parked.

The cruise control becomes your favorite device, OR NEEDS TO BE. Sometimes I don’t even use my foot!

Looks like a great time. Maybe one day. How'd the car handle compared to what you expected? I had my wife's cousin tell me I wish you had a different car to do some auto cross stuff with me. I always say the car is more than capable and bring up @DGatzby

I was just there last month for the one-day SRT experience. Super fun, even driving the Redeyes in black key mode. I have never driven one in black key mode and I have to say they still move out pretty damn well! First place in the timed autocross event went to...ME ;)

Well done! I did the 2 day Bondurant course in lieu of another SRT Experience. Learned some things, highly recommend this course!
Best tip remains- LOOK WHERE YOU WANT TO GO!
