Hah, yeah despite my best intentions I think I only made it out once last year, in the early spring. Hopefully this year will be better... I'm assuming I'll be at the back of the pack though, you guys have all had an extra year to practice!

Josh, nice videos!
It was an epiphany driving your worked and sorted car. Corner exit grunt reminded me of my Supra TT but with better steering and balance. Once I recalibrated reflexes and got comfortable, your car felt as controllable as my stock FR-S meaning confidence inspiring. Thanks for letting me ride share, it was a great experience. Running Novice was shooting fish in a barrel although there were several hot shoes also ride sharing like the guy in the SVT Cobra Mustang. On my last full 20 minute stint, starting last like the other stints, I lapped the field. Great seeing Doug, Sam, Jon and Brandon out there having fun and supporting the cause. Hope to see all of you at a track somewhere again soon. |

Exotic sounding and feeling. It's the throttle response of Josh's car that impressed me most. Instant torque, like having a DC motor connected to the throttle sensor, wow. If I were considering F/I on a twin, the easy choice would be an S/C. No TS/C I've driven on other cars can match the useful power curve of that Innovate S/C.

Good to see you guys Saturday. Wished I could have run with you, but the budget only allowed 1 track day this weekend and as you know I'm partial to ORP. It was a good day on Sunday. I found some people to run with in nearly every session. Always great when you find some folks that are closely matched. I did manage to loop my car for the first time. Trying hard to catch a friend who drives a Lotus 7 replica. I got a bit to aggressive and put a wheel on a curb. I guess I unloaded the left rear when I went over it and did a 180, ended up in the dirt. The car is fine but covered in dust inside and out. I've got quite a project ahead of me to get it clean again. Hope to see all of you out there again soon.
