FIRST PERSON/OPINION Via e-mail: Freddie closing his school isn’t good news at all. I thought I’d be overjoyed if one of our competitors closed down but I’m not. Everyone thinks they can get into the track day and school business these days but it isn’t that easy. I’m sad because while their are over a dozen “schools” out there, there are really only three worthy enough to call true competition, Freddie and his instructors, Nick Ienatsch and Jeff Haney, was one of them. I’ll miss all the chatter about whose school is the best, mine or Freddie’s, I love that stuff. He was a worthy competitor in his racing career and it was fun competing with him in the school arena.
