Someone who chases cones. As a reward, they are given two runs at the end of the day to try and beat their lady's time.
And then when (if) you beat the ladies time, you get dinner paid for but end up having to sleep outside :sleepy:
There's usually mystery cone calls that deal with that unlikely event....

Yeah, Renee added a cone on me...
Then found out that wasn't enough...
So, she added two mystery cones...
Still not enough... :)

So, then she just started whacking me over the head with her clipboard....

Nothing good can come of this.

Could a Dodge Caliber be used for autocross (ladies school)?

I believe they're also given free entry to the Championship.

Yep!

A rental Yugo would qualify too (*if* it can pass tech.) ;)

Renee can correct if necessary, but I thought that was really for someone bringing a first trimer to the school.

Mike-

Do you know what a Caliber is?

Despite Dodge Performance telling Shaun Carlson he needed to build Caliber ProFWD and ProStock versions, it is a crossover vehicle. I'd consider a Cayenne Turbo S a lot safer.

Crap, I read that so fast I saw Challenger, not Caliber.

You are correct. Not eligible for Stock class competition but I'll let Renee make the call on whether it's safe for a school environment.

Thanks! In any case it will be a non-issue.

Renee, I just sent you an email letting you know that I will be attending and will be sending my check as soon as I find an envelope :?. Also, my friend, Stephanie Moy ('05 Toyota Spyder), will be attending again this year, but I think she plans on paying the day of.

I've also posted this on forums I frequent.

Karen is still feeling pretty poorly ... Bronchitis? Still coughing up a storm after two weeks. She might not be able to Instruct.

What's our total entry now?

Renee, I have two coming that are not on your list yet. My daughter Stacy will be in the Mini. She has about 6 events experience. My niece Jenny will be in a Corolla and has no previous experience. See you Saturday.

2008 Ladies School

Post by Lisa Severy »

Congratulations to Renee Angel for putting on the best Ladies School yet! The event ran very smoothly and everyone had lots of runs and lots of fun! The course was great! So was the weather- a perfect day. I had four really great students who impressed me very much! I really enjoyed the opportunity to share with them the sport that we love. I hope that the students got as much out of it as I did. I hope to see them and all the other participants at future events. Thanks to Stacy for teaching Stephanie, Ryan's girlfriend. She's already asked me about the next event! And a big thank you to Mako for taking all the great photographs. As always, you captured the moments so well. Thank you to all of the other Solo 2'ers who collaborated and supported the event! Let's do it again next year!
