steve ...u looked real good out there...u def belong in yellow...it wasnt easy to pass you

 

I checked with Jake - unlike the old days when I got started in SRF, PCA *is* allowing yellow/white students to drove an SRF at PCA DEs now! Only caveat is that for *your* safety, you have to drove in the red run group. That's so that you don't get squashed by a 3,500 pound turbo driven by someone who's not used to looking out for a 3' high sports racer.

I rented an SRF from Dave Perkins, the local SRF dealer in Texas before I bought one. If you split the cost of a day (or two!) rental between a few friends, it'd be pretty affordable. They trailer it up there, and provide all-day trackside support.

 

My dad was into cars--he drove dirt track before I was born. I found out last summer that he wanted to buy me a go-kart and get me started racing when I was about 8. It didn't happen because mom said no, and I have still not forgiven her for that one. I am convinced I wouldn't be nearly so slow if I'd started earlier...

I guess I'm just going to have to live vicariously by mooching rides with the Waco Kid until something in my brain clicks...

 

You want me to have her capped?

 

better not--she's been trying to make it up to me by buying me track stuff at every turn. She got both me and Ryan Pilotti's for Christmas! If only I could get her to fund the tires...

 

Is your mommy adopting???
