Finally got a chance to attend Team O'Neil Rally School in New Hampshire. It's like no other drive school I've experienced, and I've been to Porsche Camp4, Bridgestone's Colorado Winter school, and Mercedes Driving Academy several times.
Gave me a new appreciation for the incredible skills of top rally drivers - that left foot braking is bloody hard.

Thanks Woody. I couldn't believe how intense it was, way harder than Porsche Camp4. RWD and AWD cars behave much differently. I'm fairly used to lifting to induce throttle steer, but it takes a lot of coordination to use your left foot properly in a FWD car to do the same.

One of these days I'll get to that school. Tim lives down the street from my sister and we're up there all the time. It's a beautiful area.

This is on my bucketlist. I am hopeful for this year, at least by next year.

It's pretty remote. There's literally nothing but gorgeous, rugged bush. I hope I get a chance to go back in the summer.
