Whew! It's been a long day at the proving grounds! We kicked things off with a shuttle at 8:30 and didn't get back to the hotel until 5PM. There's still a dinner to go, but for the most part things are wrapping up.
Driving around Milford, you can't help but get excited. Living and breathing cars since I was old enough to know what a car was it really is like a magical place where all things automotive come alive.
The morning was taken up with a safety course. A lot of fun was had, largely because the crew running the event were so chipper. I've attending some driving courses where the folks were either tired or had just lost interest in their jobs, but that was not the case for Aki and his crew. Nothing is more fun while your gleefully spinning a car around then when everyone else in the car is laughing with you.
After the safety class there was a brief protocol speech about the cars were going to drive and then it was off to the races. Some folks elected to eat lunch, but I skipped the meal and went (ran) straight for the cars.
The course was roughly 5 miles in length: you got some tightly coned areas, wide open road, rough/broken pavement and just about everything in between. Not a bad way to evaluate GM's latest batch of models! I'll have my driving impressions posted soon!
