Well...yeah. My contract is pictured below.

I'll tellya what, though...if I were on track with some of them, the safest place I could be in the corners would be at the apex. They are nowhere close.

That said, a few of them are actually very good drivers. I know a couple (Mark McKenzie, Joe Courtney, Ross Garber, etc.)...

Looks like a NASA race. Nickel dime damage to them. They sound nice. Didn't realize you could miss shifts in them.

Looks like they learned a lot from their Spem Miaita days.

Such competent cars, such a shame...

Considering the depth of the coaching resources the series makes available to participants, it sure seems that most participants take little or no advantage of it, and at the least, it seems that few execute basic, fundamental skills...

True.

Mark and Joe drive many other cars, in many different series (and for some time) and they fit the bill; "lifelong learners."

from personal experience, a lot of these guys want to learn, but this is their first foray into racing; talk about getting thrown into the deep end. especially since most of these races are in front of crowds significantly larger than anything an SCCA or NASA race will get.

some learn and get good; some get frustrated and quit. Ferrari gets their money either way

Looks like high hp spec racing. Nothing unique to Ferrari challenge.

I guess without a clutch pedal the whole concept of "both feet in" is lost. Good lord!
