Good, otherwise it would be like one of the musketeers showing up with a LOT bigger rapier than the others

I'm not worried. Both of you are in RED now (not that you both actually drive in red...)

I had a great time at my first ever DE. Nader did a wonderful job instructing me - our personalities just clicked. He challenged me to try different lines, brake later, and be more aggressive. I went out with him in white/blue to understand tracking out better at Nascar and Southbend. I'm an autoxer - we don't shift or deal with any traffic so it was a completely different experience.

Mike trusted me with his "baby" for the weekend and I was thankful. I thoroughly enjoyed our classroom session as well. If only my engineering professors only had that much of a sense of humor in college! I will definitely be back out at some point. I put 311 track miles on Mike's car.

As usual I am several days late and few $$$ short. You did a great job. Look forward to seeing you continue with another expensive hobby. Save the street tires for Mike next time. That is about his speed

Thanks to all for a well run event. Although I still find not driving much this year still shows in my inconsistent driving, I think I am starting to get more comfortable. The car seems fine after changing the broken motor mounts. I did not put as many miles on as others because I corded a tire on Friday due to understeer into left hook and not wanting to use the tires I was saving for October. However, I flipped the tire and got a few more sessions, some working on trying to get more speed through hog pen and T2-3-4.

Nader,
It was fun practicing NACSCAR pit-stop style tire changes with you!

Awesome weekend. Track was fast in the morning, set a personal best by over a second and a half. Congrats to Jazz, Jose, Forklift, and Lane who also set personal bests! Had fun trying to keep up with BKS and Dr. J (no shot, but at least I kept them in sight).

Came in early last session on Sat because no grip left in HC'ed Hoosiers. Lucky me otherwise could have been catastrophic. When pullin off my rear left wheel, 4 spokes where cracked all the way thru, with 3 other having hairline fractures on the backside! Note to all, check your wheels when you check your pressures! Here's a pic

Holy s___

I guess they go from black, to purple to yellow to FAIL!
Time to trade the car in.
