And you posted to the list without sending the photo as an attachment?  What's 
wrong with you!!!  


PDX - Performance Driving eXperience - SCCA's take on Driver's Education 
programs or as the rest of the world calls it, "Track Events".  


I recently sent a half-finished email to all of our PDX instructors...why?  
Because someone handed me a large frozen Margarita - apparently my phone 
decided 
that it should spite me since it wasn't receiving a large, refreshing beverage 
made with Tequilla...  Rec'd several "Huh" and "WTF" responses - nothing like 
being the Chief Instructor and dazzling your minions with your computer prowess 
(or lack thereof).
