[QUOTE="brkntrxn, post: 10297240, member: 12396"] The Nashville event was purely for us to manage the track portion of ZCon. They move the event each year and they are going to be in Savannah in 2011. If we do their track day activities, it will be at Roebling. IF being a key word, we will have different agreements in place if we do it again. I did not like the confusion we had with too many chiefs being in charge. For 2011, we are going to be doing more events at NCCAR. Since that facility was built for automotive research and does not allow racing, it kinda goes along with our core competency of providing in-depth driver skill training and advanced instructor training. Plus, they are cost-effective. On topic... sorta --- I had an interesting conversation with my oldest daughter at dinner. And since I am really into the mental side of driving, it was pretty cool introspective for me. While eating dinner, we were watching one of the OCC episodes. She made a comment that she did not think I was "into motorcycles". (which in itself is funny because I have ridden motorcycles for 30 years and taken her for countless rides). I replied that the people on this show used to argue too much and now that they were having a build-off, it was easier to watch and see the technical side of things without the endless bickering. I told her I have a great appreciation for people that can create designs and bring it to life. I commented that I was jealous of her and my sisters artistic abilities because I am a better troubleshooter and fixer than designer and creator. She asked if I was "left hand dumb." I replied, "Yes, it is hard for me to do things with my left hand and left foot braking was hard for me to learn since it is stupid as well." She then explained that I must be VERY left-brain controlled (as opposed to just some) and that explained why my left limbs were not as adept as my right limbs. She also went on to explain that less creative and more logical type people are MORE left-brain controlled than right-handed, creative type people like herself. Soooo, to bring this full circle, I wonder if the more creative, artistic type people have an easier time of learning left foot brake control? And left-handed, right-brained people must have a real advantage, correct? In either case, I told her she had 13 months before we proved her theory. I will have her at the track the weekend after she turns 16. That is a guarantee. Unless we start next month in the Target parking lot..... :pepper: -Kevin [/QUOTE]
