You won't "know" the track until you've driven it a few times. This is coming from a noob where running your first day is still very fresh in my head.

Kenny, if you're talking about the time you rode with Marc, that was a thunderbolt not lightning.
Im not trying to put down some insane times im just going for fun and to become better driver.

Tim, you'll have the layout down in no time, total domination will follow shortly there after.
I want to be smooth a few point bys would be nice

I would absolutely recommend the PCA over BMW CCA.
I meant 10/16 sunday.


Congrats Jim on the baby!

Tim, if I can get point bys on my own during solo'd sessions, you can get point bys.

I just added another person to my list of "I would kick you in the *****, if I wouldn't get fired for it." he also qualifies for the "my 2yo is smarter than you" award.
