Notes/Comments:
First track event. HPDE1 and 2 with NASA AZ. This was the second of a two day event. I was in DE1 Saturday and DE2 Sunday. I chose this video because it has the best action with some passing and so forth. I was really lucky on the first day and had a ton of open track most of the time - which makes for kind of boring video for you to watch a complete novice on an empty track.

The reference lap in the second video is from when Hal was driving our car and I passengered with him. Earlier that day he set the TTD lap record in his FRS, and I let him drive our automatic for comparison. His best lap in our car was 1:11.49 and my best was 1:12.9, so I'm about 1.5 seconds slower than the record holder. Granted, I only got that close to his time by following the lines he showed me.

First lap on a track.

More entertaining - a full session with some passing and traffic.
