As many of you know, there is a very tight group of photographers in Pittsburgh who are not only competitors in business, but best friends and teachers. One couple that is very close to Marty and I is Cyndi and Tony Araujo, great photographers and great friends.
Tony and Cyndi's Father Rick decided to Ride their motorcycles to Beaverrun race track to try out the Mazda experience. I went to take pictures and to see how things are. I taught Rally driving there a couple times and it was nice to see that all the same people where still there after a couple years.
I was a little worried how good it would be because of the very reasonable price. They got a great deal, the instructors where thorough, polite, fun and very supportive and patient, which is very hard to do when rookies are driving in your very expensive equipment.
They received some classroom instruction then they immediately when out and took laps with an instructor in Mazda 6s which everyone was impressed with. Then they got into Mazda Miata cup cars and made a few laps. Then to top off the whole day, they drove the 240hp 180 mph Mazda formula cars!!
Tony and Rick where both very impressive from what I saw and they had a blast.
