After the Nashville the road show headed to Bristol.� It was great to only have a 4 hour trip to the race track.� Everyone was very excited about this trip as it was the first time the school had ever gone to Bristol.� It is also much different from the other tracks we go to.� It is only a .5 mile track (most others are 1.5 mile) and has some pretty severe banking.� The instructors were all looking forward to driving the track.� The day was pretty light so there would be plenty of time to get in some additional driving.� I had one of the guys take me out for a champ ride.� Usually a champ ride is 3 laps – we did 10.� It was pretty cool – a lot different then the other tracks I have been on.� At one point during the ride we had a little sliding action and went up towards the wall!� When we stop Lois asked if I was scared during the ride.� I said – “no”.� He said well I should have been – he was!� I guess the sliding up towards the wall was not part of the plan.
