Question ESC Driver Training Day\Days...wdyt?

i've been thinking of trying to organise something, like this for a while...Tiny has recommended Andy Walsh but am open to suggestions before i start researching and asking for group discounts

Any comments welcome (that could have been the stupidest thing i've ever posted on SN...).

cheers,
ian

It is slow, but as I said yesterday, when it's done about 8k then it will start to loosen up and really shift (and if I know you, 8k miles won't take more than 2 weeks )...............so I need to get started nice and early........and not too kin late
