The way I look at it is thus: Mike wants me to drive most of the time. If I lose even 4 seconds/lap to Scott, and it will probably be more like 6 PLUS my lack of race craft (difficulty passing even a slightly slower car--if there is one--and ease of a similar-speed car to pass me)--it would be a lot for Mike to make up. So I'm working hard to convince myself that I will:
1) have fun
2) get setup suggestions
3) possibly get some coaching or at least teaching by example (see what the data in the same car shows with the 2 very different skill-level drivers)
4) have fun

The data will be the #1 way you'll learn to go faster. Make *SURE* its running.

I thought I heard in the VIR paddock that D. Moses and G. Church will be co-driving in D class. There's some competition for you.

In fact, I did! He said RA-1s are fine if I'm comfortable with them. But since I have a NASA race the next weekend (provided the car is okay), I'm going to be broaching the issue with my personal banker...

If I go with HoHos, I may try to "rent" a used set for practice the day before, and then go out on sticker Hoosiers for the races. Please PM me if you have a not-quite-used-up set of 225 and 245 x 16's, and want to get some money out of them.

x2 about comparing the data, one of my few next investments , and just have a lots of fun.

I will pass by Sp and I will take my GoPro 8GB because I know you will forget your remote control for your camera

Questions
How many races can you do with HoHos??? Have you use it them before???
