Fun weekend. I don't get to do too many DE's so it's always fun to catch up with people.
Had an eager young student in handlebar's son Ian. What a hoot. 0/0 green with some autocross. The autocross experience was evident. We spent his first weekend on track working on consistency. By Saturday he was moving along quite well. He did a great job and was able to give the car back to his Dad in one piece
Well done!
I've been tracking cars for 12 years now and found I could still learn something myself. I had a few people in my right seat. Chuck shamed me for tapping the brakes at the top of the chute, BikePump had a great suggestion to help with consistent braking into 10 and The Punk, er, Boy showed me some new approaches to 3 and 10 I might be able to use next month at the club race.
Always learning. It's easy to do the same thing over and over again then some Mr. Clean looking guy suggests my erratic braking might be pad knock back and not only does he leave floors spotlessly clean with a fresh pine scent but he might have fixed the issue I've fought for a loooong time. It's the most important turn on the track dammit!
And the Boy is young enough to be stupid and try stuff so if he can show me it works then I'll try it. If things go badly for him then I know I shouldn't try it
And Chuck's peer pressure always works. I'm almost 50 and that sh!t still works.
And I may have convinced the birthday boy (hobiecat) to jump into the fray with a SpecBoxster of his own.
As always, thank you to the volunteers that make all this happen. We don't have a club without you!
