I've had several professional "critiques" of my driving by both state and local agencies. Their "advice" didn't come cheap.

When your wife navigates for you in the boat it can make for some pretty quiet trips home after the race. There is only 2 people to blame for an error and neither of us are ever wrong LOL. You are also sitting inches apart so I have been slapped on the helmet a few times.
You can usually tell how rough or smooth your run has been by the colour of the Navigators clenched hands and white face at the end (and the bruises on the upper arms LOL) After 2 seasons motion sickness got the better of her and she couldn't get out of the boat for 20mins after a run (just had to sit there with her head between her legs and eyes closed). No fun and you cant swap navigators during eliminations so time for a change We recruited another Navigator and wife was upgraded / relegated to video camera and critiquing my driving from the bank. I am not sure what was worse LOL. Funnily enough your own kids are usually pretty blunt at giving advice and commenting on your driving. They tend to tell it like it is and are usually a pretty good source of driver tuneup Probably my best driving training advice came from installing a data logger. Throttle position, lateral G's, Acc G's, pump inlet and outlet pressure etc etc are all a huge part of an often much needed driver tuneup (weather you like it or not LOL) Navigator distress photos attached, not very professional driving LOL

The closest thing to that boat ride would be this:
http://vimeo.com/88309465 TV PS This was not staged (Like Bullet) It was a real deal street race thru Paris. This video is a local Ford Engineer's copy of the same type of deal. Again not staged. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xh5...lrun-2006_auto

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
