Never realized how physically demanding driving at speed around the track could be with just shoulder and lap belts to hold you in your seat. The professional driver drove the car for two laps before I took over the driver's seat. It was amazing how well the car could handle with him behind the wheel. I'd love to get the Firebird on the road track someday.

Ford in Michigan has a Driving School that they put on for all Engineers and Test Drivers working at the Romeo Michigan (Michigan Proving Ground test track). It is set up the same way Bob Bondurant's driving school is set up out west. But Ford did not have to pay for hotel rooms and other travel expenses you would pay there.

If you really get involved in that type of racing I would recommend his school.

You would learn a lot of things BEFORE you were trying to race on a track like Mid-Ohio. With winter coming on in Ohio you might be able to take a week and learn from the Pros out west. Bob is a very polite man.
