That's the toughest part.
I remember riding with Andy and Teresa at a Sacramento
event, but I can't remember what car it was. Teresa's
968, maybe? I know they were turning pretty identical
times, but that's where the similarity ended. Teresa
seemed a lot more smooth, if I recall, but don't
misunderstand that as slow. She just took really smart
lines and was on the gas really early. She also never
takes her hands of the wheel, like she can completely
rotate her arms around 360 degrees. Andy would do this
shuffle steer thing at a twenty shuffles per second.
Also, I recall a lot of laughing, and I think that was
me, because I'm pretty sure he was scaring me to
death. Those are two really great drivers.
