Any time there is a green flag and checkered flag, this can happen. We all know it, and do it anyway. Chics dig bruises!

Glad everyone is ok and had fun regardless!


I hear ya Chad…. ME? And ego?? HA!!!


Not one that will fit in any oversized room that is…


On track days --- I think Charley told me early on…. "visor down - race on!"

So true!!

This is the first track day --- other than when I was following little Tommy around --- where I felt I was finally driving within my skill level. My problem usually comes when I'm on the track with nobody in front of me --- then it's harder to judge your speed and I tend to hammer it too hard. This time when nobody was around -- I actually slowed down and took my time to find the right lines rather than trying to "catch up" to someone way ahead. It was MUCH MORE relaxing --- and my guess is -- my times weren't far off of the hammer down times because I probably carried more speed overall. The "smooth/slow is fast" comes into play -- a lot less jamming the brakes and furious saves -- and a lot more just smooth turn ins and less wheel input.

I even said to Charley at Laguna -- "I think I'm finally learning".


Hey! Better late than never!!
