From looking around the paddock, I'd guess a sweet pair of racing shoes does help.

I hope you still intend to auto-x. Wish i could have seen the green trunk evo on track. Does his car have the fireball on shift tune?

Chu won the HPDE.

Marc, Thai and Tim dominated the HPDE.

I am very pleased with my performance.

Mike, I'm calling you out. . Seriously though it would be a blast if you came out to one or two events; however, judging from your previously posted sentiments I shouldn't start holding my breath.

the old hoosier koni were hard and the car was a handful to drive this week but there were some fun drift sessions.

i've only been off track twice ever and both times were this week with Chu in the car. Chu is no longer welcome in my car

Wow, that happened quick.. guess you had a little to much throttle to early in turn?

You did catch it quite smoothly a few times in video prior to that, ton of run off space where you lost it..

Was that Marc I mean Ken Block I mean AIB passing you right before off?

That was marc.

Apparently a mustang spun out trying to hang with me through that chicane but I didn't see it because "someone" denied me access to my mirrors.

I learned a lot though. Pretty much everything you read and hear about racing was demonstrated to me at one point over the two days like looking ahead, focusing on your line, not racing in your mirrors. Everytime I worried about something other than I was supposed to I set up poorly for a turn which in turn messed up my placement for the next turn and sometimes the next and made me slower.

I'm hooked.

yeah, that was Marc. he waited and pointed me and Tim by at the beginning and followed me for a couple laps til he passed me at turn 1 before the off.

i was just pushing the tires harder than i should have. luckily there's plenty of runoff at NJMP.

Dan, i'm glad that you were able to learn a lot this weekend. it's going to be much for fun when you can put those new skills to use at the next track event. ditch the E85 and go with 93 and that's one less thing you'll have to worry about.
