Good times. Was disappointed with the morning session and having to basically swim into the start box, which was also filled with water. There was zero grip and I could not get a clean run in. Once things dried up a bit I finally found some speed but it was too little too late. I was happy with my final time of 39.44, I believe there was probably another .5 - 1 second in the car but I could just not find the grip in a couple sections. My times were on par with the other miatas there that were running R-comps but I feel it was more driver than anything else limiting my times. Highlight of the day was riding with DJ in the Lexus, we drifted the first 3/4 of the course and I couldn't stop laughing at the car downshifting mid-corner and squealing from start to finish. Props to DJ for keeping that thing in control, I would have had that car in the grass chasing corner workers.
Karting over at Shendandoah circuit was pretty damn fun. Those karts can really move and the course was very fast and somewhat technical. I felt they were much quicker than the VIR karts but perhaps it was just the course layout. There was some iffy drivers out there but for the most part I got some clean laps in and had a blast. Definitely worth the $10.00 and watching DJ t-bone a kart at full speed that spun out right in front of him was worth the admission fee. :thumbup:
