This list came from the Silicon Forest Corvette Club. We attended their meeting Monday night. They attended Bragg-Smith last weekend and one member had some fun coming out of turn 2.

The guy who went off was the most experienced driver of the group - DOH! He kept a very good sense of humor throughout the meeting.
He even came up with this:

You may have been to the Bragg-Smith Advanced Driving School if……

10. You have a certificate on your desk instead of a picture of your wife and kids.

9. You try to impress new acquaintances with your heel and toe skills.

8. Your hear “overcooked it”, and think “off the track” instead of “Denny’s”.

7. You try to explain to non-racers that you don’t have to be going over 100 mph to lose control of the car.

6. You thoroughly enjoy showing the tail-gater behind you how to apex highway off-ramps.

5. You’ve been to Driver’s school and never had a ticket.

4. You stick your arm out the window and raise it straight up before turning into your driveway.

3. You don’t see anything unusual in reducing a set of tires to their cords in just a few hours of driving time.

2. You think that traction control and ABS are for those who can’t drive.

and the number 1 reason people know you’ve been to Bragg-Smith Advanced Driving School is…………………

1. If people refer to you according to your deviation(s). “Oh you’re the guy who spun off the track in turn 2”.

Oh my god! LOL! I love it! Especially #6. I do that all the time in the Camry. They wouldn't be tailgaiting me if I'm in the SS unless they're trying for a closer look.

Yikes! Someone downshifting at the wrong time at the wrong rev?? 13 is unlucky.

Never dropped a wheel off the track but would love to go back and try.

The two Dave's even stand in a good driving position as in pic # 2.

What really bites my tail feathers about this...is that 'somehow' the word is out that this was me??!!! (j/k)

I guess they thought that because it was Doug #1 that it had to be the Pres. He's #1 becuase he started the CICC....I'm #2 because....well I'm always #2...

Actually, the story goes that he was off his line and a little fast. He did this in the 2002 Electron Blue Z06 that was delivered soon after our visit. Rumor has it that Rupert took him behind the woodshed for it.
Here's the info on the gentleman (Glenn Parker) who went on that wild ride.

He kept a wonderful sense of humor at the meeting where everyone ribbed him incessantly about "the incident".
