INDULGE YOUR ‘NEED FOR SPEED’ WITH THE CLUB BRAMAN PERFORMANCE DRIVING PROGRAM
By Peter Frey

Congratulations to those of you who bought your new high-performance car from Braman Motorcars!
And for those of you who are
still thinking about it – think
about this: All those ‘Mario
Andretti’ dreams you had
when you were younger, star-
ing out through the visor of
your racing helmet, seat belts
pulled tight and nothing in
front of you but a wide-open
road without a speed limit
sign in sight. Your right foot
goes to the oor, the engine snarls and it feels like you’ve been shot from a cannon. Fast, then faster and faster still until you’re certain there must be red and blue lights in your rear view mirror... but no, just more open road calling your name.
And when the rst corner comes up, you 28don’t hit the brakes and slow to crawl,
no... just feather the brakes, the lightest touch... and a small, smooth turn of the steering wheel... feel the tires gripping the road, feel yourself becoming one with this remarkable machine as it does things you never knew it was capable of. And then back on the gas, eager for whatever surprises, whatever pleasures the road may hold.
Nor does this feeling fade. Even days later, driving to work, to the market, to the golf course, you nd yourself engaging in a dialog between yourself and the car and the road. Driving is no longer a chore, but rather adventure that’s no farther away than the push of your garage door button and the twist of your ignition key.

Braman Performance Driving Events held quarterly at Palm Beach International Raceway. Remaining events this year take place on May 18, August 10 and October 5.
The program, held in coordination with the Palm Beach Driving Club and head- ed by champion racing driver and top
