When she can find the time in her very busy schedule, Dr. Audrey has been gracious enough to come out and serve as an in-car instructor for our On Track events, having already attended the Sebring and VIR events. For those of you who have met her at one of our events... or had her as an instructor, you know how genuine a person Audrey is... and if you had ANY doubts before... just how accomplished she is behind the wheel!!
CONGRATULATIONS, Audrey!! Way to go! Best of results to you in your racing and driving career... and thank you so much for taking some time to come out and help introduce our SVTOA On Track students to this GREAT sport!
See you on track!
