I absolutely love Julie! Does she have a sister?!? 😂 I watched your RA lap vid. It looks like you have quite a bit more mph on the long straights than your last ride! I can't wait to see what you two do once you find her limits!
Thanks Mark, just getting started with this one. Once we have rev match in the car will be go like hell.

No worries. with that cool bag and with that new driving suit and accessories you will intimidate the heck out of those folks with shoddy old track duds ! Gotta feeling you are going to do quite well and all of us at TMO are sending out good vibes for you also. Kick butt, and take no prisoners.

Just tell yourself it ain’t sh!t, just another ride around the track. Don’t try to go fast, try to be smooth and the speed with come. Especially if you are trying to get a comp license. They won’t care at all how fast you are, just how smooth and under control you are. If you’re running on the ragged edge and making choppy moves and missing braking points and apexes that will not bode well with the instructor. Just be relaxed and be smooth. go in easy and position your car for a good exit. That’s where the speed is. Not bombing in at full tilt And making sloppy exits.

HPDE for VIR and Autobahn this weekend. Applied for Comp license as well and my TREC license.

You've come a long way since the GT350 lol. I was following you on M6G back then

For sure!!! Its a passion. Motorsports in general have been a huge part of my life.

I live around an hour from RA and that helps. Been there over 100 times. My best friend and I have been to 6 F1 races as well.

Started making some good money and decided to jump in.
