<VV> [indyscca] Test and Tune

[Paul Fox]

Warren,
          Talk about trial by fire. I for one can tell you that Stinger is a hand full.She'll have something to brag about to all of her friends. I'm sure she'll never forget grandpa or his car.                 Paul Fox

The Saturday Indy Test and Tune at Grisom AFB was a great experience 
for Amanda and I. My, not quite yet 17 year old grandaughter, had not 
even seen an autocross. I'm sure that she was on sensory overload.
I wish to thank all of the Indy group for making Amanda feel 
welcome and for all of the assistance; especially leading her around 
the pace laps..
Amanda had to drive quite posssibly the most difficult car to drive 
in SCCA, The CP Stinger has, expotential Turbo power,, harsh clutch, 
large size and no power assists. I felt sorry for her when she turned 
the steering wheel, but I wanted her to have all of the excitement 
possible, since she probably won't be able or willing to bear the 
expense of regular competition. The Stock Fiero would just have been 
too tame for her.
Amanda is outwardly the most mild mannered young lady that you 
could imagine. But in the car she turned from Clarkette Kent into 
Super Girl. You can't teach aggressiveness, but she had it in spades. I 
had to literally order her out of the car when it was my turn to drive.
One of the day's highlights was when her Mother and sister came to 
watch. Amanda managed to spin in the the slalom with her mother in the 
car while attacking maybe a little too much. I hear that when she took 
her sister Lauren for a ride that the passenger seat was suspicioulsy 
damp later.
She also got to ride in the Steve Brinkerhoff' s open, powerful, 
light Lotus replica with uncle Michael who had previouly set fastest 
Dmod time.
Thanks Indy, Amanda will never be the same. Amanda is normally my 
piano student; what a great change of pace for both of us.

Warren
