I had Helen come give me a "talking to" a while back after a spin that ended with me straddling the yellow lines next to the runway. The course had a very high-speed kink in it that could *almost* be taken flat out in an STX prepped WRX (Dean and I both had spectacular offs in that maneuver trying to make it stick flat out).

She told me she "needed me to slow down and keep it under control". What bullshit, if the course is unsafe fix the course or cancel the event. I'm not lifting if my competition isn't lifting. What's even worse, I don't remember seeing Dean getting the same talk about keeping it under control. It's not like we were out there doing donuts.

I guess she just seems to have the need to talk big game to feel like she's doing something. I don't know how John (who's one of the most down to earth and nicest people you'll ever meet) has put up with it for all the years they've been together, unless Helen's not like that to her family, and just busts balls at autocross.
