Johns car has something wrong with it.
My car and teo's car run great.
Practice 3 was quali for the fun race this afternoon.
I was going around the track with a compile of cars passing and re passing each other slowing each other down a lot, still have not proven my lap from second session yesterday, but I'm sure I'm going a little faster.
Starting to feel the car, goin up a gear here and there, starting to lock up tires etc
Making some progress I think.

I run similar times as the other guys under the Accumoto tent now so I'm not embarrassing myself too bad.
Opening lap went off 2x and I ended up last LOL
Than could practice race craft AKA fauking with people to drive back to the other Accumoto cars past a couple and was behind the next 2 at the finish, well behind, I could see them LOL.
Pretty exciting.
Weird how as soon as its a race you no longer lift where you should to be safe :-)

There is nothing funny about going off twice on your first hot lap ever, at least not to the other cars you are sharing the track with and who count on you being competent so that everyone remains safe. All this says is that you are driving beyond your skill level and not ready to race.
Elsewhere I warned in this forum I warned not to 'be that guy'. Hope you give that more consideration if you continue in this sport.

With off I mean off line over the rumbles making sure everyone had a lot of room, thanks for the encouraging words.
Chill guys, I was very safe. As always.
Videos coming soon.

Videos uploading. Of course.
You around tomorrow?
I'm not racing tomorrow because no one else fits in the car now besides me and I don't want to drive 1.5 hours, I'll never make it till the end. (Jenk12M I needed you!) Also; I have to take care of business at work but I will come by at the track to go see the races..
Maybe we can meet up?
Met a few rennlisters today, pretty cool. Grady and Clarke telling people and pointing to me about being Trakcar helps of course ;-)

I have my race license :-)
My first rookie race:
The Marlboro car is John, the crazy Martini car is Teo (yes it was smoking and yes he again ripped the shift know off the shifter LOL), the plain Martini car is Randy and the Lucky strike car is Kyle, they all own these cars. Fun guys, all much better racers than I am :-)
I got lots of good advice and direction from these guys.
Mark White did some video coaching with me and that helped a lot too. Service and support was outstanding, I could not have picked a better full service outfit for my first race.
The second race is way more fun to watch and im doing already much better. Coming soon.
