Wow - that's about all I can say. Not sure where to start. First tip, never let your significant other (was a fiance in my case) get a ride from #99. I got to hear about how she shaved 1s off his best lap time the whole way home. Not to mention how exhilirating a ride she had with him as the driver. The most painful of comments though was the fact that when I had previously given her rides on my snake that I didn't have any seconds to shave
.
Mark rode along with me during my track time. He was equal parts teacher, support team, and counselor.
This was my first track experience in a car and I look forward to many more.
The weather was perfect! 15 degrees below normal
I should mention also NARRA, Archer Racing (thanks for the oil change as i couldn't have done it without you), Skip Thomas a great teacher, and all the other drivers etc. that I got to meet.
There were 6 or 7 cars in the beginner group on a 2.5 mile track, I got passed 2x in the 3rd session... once by a car with a checkered flag on the hood? Looked like a pace car but by that time I was just going thru the motions.
Here are a few pictures of the amazing time I had... thanks again.
#1 Mark
#2 Mark again with my fiance in giggle mode
#3 Mark again... that's enough if I make his head any bigger it won't fit in the helmet or in my car!
#4 Red ACR #33
#5 #43 this paint job was sweet, grey with metallic flakes this picture doesn't do it justice
#6 ACR #54

If anyone was here and is looking specifically for a particular car let me know I have shots from most sessions Saturday.
