That was me talking to the instructor and seeing if I fit in the car. I don't. In that picture, my foot is *under* the clutch pedal so I could get my ass in the seat.

Also, I discussed the curriculum with the instructor... it sounds like days 1 and 2 of 3 will teach me next to nothing since it's learning how to shift, brake, pick your line, etc. Basic car control stuff that I think I've got a pretty good handle on from all the time trials I've done. Only day 3 gets into actual racing instruction. It sounds like a pretty expensive school for less than a day of new material. I would probably be better served by trying to find a different school w/ cars I fit in that would let me skip right to their intermediate school so I can learn some door-to-door (or wheel-to-wheel as the case may be) stuff.
