Thanks for the great instruction this weekend! Sunday turned out far better than expected, finally found the confidence to begin attacking the corners. Until I sat in with one of the veteran's corvettes, which re-calibrated my understanding on "attacking" corners all over again. All in all, an extraordinary experience!

It's not to be feared, just have to respect it and it's challenges.

I had a hard time the entire weekend and just couldn't feel comfortable pushing. I had to respect the track and simply resign myself to just surviving and getting home in one piece. There will be other times. Congrats to everyone else for doing a fan-friggin-tastic job on lap times however!

While mistakes at GP are not fun, I am often reminded of the Speed Secrets podcast where they say that the reason the pros are good is not because they don't make mistakes but because they make lots of MICRO mistakes and reel back just enough to appear perfect. GP is a mental wall for me so I certainly could use some company scaling it together

Ross always talk about how the pro makes ton of mistake but they are so good at making mistake. It's hard for people to spot them. |

@wparsons Thank you so much! I attacked hard, and squeezed as much as I could. I feel more seat time here will do me some good and it was a pleasure having you instruct me through this monster of a track!

Awesome work at GP @KarstonC! You pushed harder on your first time at GP OTA than I ever did. In fact, you actually beat me in a lower classed car that day. Well done!
