I just found $1000 from Skip Barber
How amazing is this?
Back in 2001, Debra and I signed up to take a racing school through Skip Barber. We were at Laguna Seca race track in California for the Monterey Historic Races and put $500 deposits down on two spots in their October, '01 driving school. A few weeks later, Debra got an invitation to a friend's wedding and we had to postpone our class. Not sure what sort of blow to the head I then suffered, because I shortly forgot about it. And life goes on. Last week, the repressed memory resurfaced. I had a fleeting recollection of giving Skip Barber money, but thought, "There's no way I didn't get a refund. Is there?" A call to Skip Barber and a couple of emails later and, sure enough, I now have a $1,000 credit to be applied to a future class of my choice. I'm now perusing their online catalog, trying to decide how to spend my windfall. True "found money," this completely trumps that $20 bill I found in the pocket of my winter coat one cold fall morning a few years ago. Sometimes, head injuries can be good things.
