My Driving Experience

Some of you think I am just one lucky person. Well if you think so, this story reinforces my luck. After we finished tearing down after the snow meeting in Sweden, we were asked if we would be interested in doing the driving experience at the hotel….

Now this would have been exciting no matter what, but at the Kall Auto Lodge where we were staying, the cars they do their driving experience with just happened to be Porsche Carerras. Yep, Porsche’s.

So 8 of us hopped into 4 cars and drove about 25 minutes to the lake where we were doing the ice driving experience. Oh yeah, it was on ice!! First up we were taught how to accelerate, brake and swerve through cones while sliding on the ice. Next up was the ice slalom course. I did ok on both, and really loved the accelerate as fast as you can and slam on the brakes part.

From there we were let lose on a 2km track winding around the lake. For the next hour or so we took turns practicing our newly learned skills as we cruised around the course as many times as we could. I spun out about 3 times per lap, but it was so much fun! Definitely a once in a lifetime experience.
