Ladies Track School @ Buttonwillow - June 15, 2008

Postby Tyler » Wed Jun 18, 2008 1:42 pm

We headed down Saturday afternoon and arrived at BW around 4:30. The day’s events were wrapping up so we got settled in and ready for the next day. This is what happens when you have a bored 16-year old in the car and she gets a hold of your camera.

We decided to bring Bart with us. He is such a good pup! He put up with the drive, the heat, and got lots of affection from everyone.

The track was empty and quiet just waiting for the next round of adventurous riders

A bunch of empty shells waiting for conversion I’m guessing

A visit from the TC staff – Julie was thinking real hard about something

We ran out of chairs so Robert brought his own barcalounger – wish he’d learn to relax on that thing

And that is where my personal photos end as I was riding the rest of the day. It was such a wonderful day and many kudos to Trackcrafters and their staff for providing an environment for us to learn and grow. I never really felt nervous as I believed I was in good hands and the opportunity to have track time just for the ladies was priceless (as was that ride on the Wing with Robert who took us around the track explaining the cones, entries, exits, etc. which made it so much easier to get out on the track the first time). Each and every member of the TC staff was friendly, approachable, and helpful without ever feeling like we were being “preached” to. I think every rider learned some valuable new skills as the smiles on their faces were testament to. There is talk of doing another ladies' track school so if you missed this one, stay tuned for the next... you won't regret it!! :)

Hey Tyler,

Your kid has some skills with that camera!

Nice pics all the way around. I hope I'm healthy enough for the next one!
