Hey guys just thought I'd chime in my thanks to all who gave me such a warm welcome. T'was my first DE in about three years and man ... I had forgotten. Those karting events and autoxes I'd been doing in the interim simply pale in comparison.

Had a phenomenal time with SP and given that it was my first time there I really felt like I made the most out of it. My hat is off to my instructor, Ed. He was excellent at really drilling down into the minutia (e.g. "your apex was about six inches too early that time...") and pushing me to get the most out of my car.

As an aside, I HAD been hoping to burn off my set of ancient victoracers but I have to admit I was impressed with them (and there's still a good amount of meat left!). While their max grip level wasn't amazing, they managed the heat really well and I need to focus more on my actual driving skills anyway! :-D
