Driver’s Education at MotorSport Ranch by Joe McGlohen The June Park Place DE at Motor Sports Ranch was blessed with gorgeous weather and a lighter than usual turnout, largely due to the number of Mavericks headed for Parade. Both participants and officials fell into the light turnout category. While Jan Mayo was sorely missed as Grid Empress, Jean Frick has certainly earned the title of member of the Empress' court. She did a great job! We also had several of the primary instructor corps absent, but that was not a problem thanks to the very long term planning and work of DE Chairman John Sandusky and Bryan Henderson. They have been building a strong reserve of very capable instructors waiting in the wings for their chance to share their experience with folks early in their track-time careers. Obviously Bryan and John's efforts paid off. great looking (Park Place designer) drinking water for all to use to keep hydrated. We needed it. Although the temperatures were not astronomical, the humidity was and I think we just about drank the ocean dry. Park Place also provided the entire Corner Worker contingent with really nice Porsche boutique white hats, which came in very handy, since there was little cloud cover and ...Water, Water Everywhere... The most notable thing about the entire weekend was that Joel Nannis at Black Flag had a very quiet and sedate couple of days. I think I may have seen Joel dozing off in a chair once or twice. There were fewer incidents of naughty behavior logged (yes we keep records) over the course of the weekend than I can ever remember. And Ray Luedecke must be doing a great job at DE Tech, because all of the on course towing trips were due to very bizarre mechanical issues with obscure roots. Although I was very pleased to check-ride several students (all successful, and always a pleasure I might add) for promotions, the high point of my weekend was the time I spent riding with Myron Krupp in his pristine white Peter Greg Turbo and then in his awesome Red 935. Then driving the 935 for a few laps was the topping on the weekend. Water, Water Everywhere, and plenty to drink! Park Place was wonderful!

The workers also had a real treat at the end of each day as those that wanted to got to ride a few laps with an instructor. They really appreciated that. For those of us on the DE committee, we were very busy filling in for our absent peers, but the event went reasonably smooth, and I am not sure any of the other participants realized we were juggling. I know that I did not have any trouble falling asleep Friday, Saturday, or Sunday night.
