We started in brand new stripped down & modded 5.0 Mustangs, and then moved into the Formula Fords. I'm pretty sure it was the first year that Ford sponsored his school and delivered his brand new fleet. It was one of the best times in my life. Along w/ all his instructors, I got to meet, work, and drive w/ the legend himself! I wasn't able to get him to give me a lap in the Cobra though.
Glad I was able to prod your memories of Bondurant. I'll let you know when I get this booked and maybe you can consider signing up for a "refresher course" at the same time?? I don't know how else we'd ever be able to meet as we live on opposite ends of the country!
