Joey nailed it. What a fantastic day. It was a great event for newbies (like myself) and even experienced autox/track drivers to just have a great time on a section of the track. I could get into third gear (which is like 70-80 mph), and was able to really practice my heel-toe into a couple of the corners.
I got someone to ride along with me to correct my line, which made me much faster, as I was cutting the carousel waaaaaaay to tight on the main course. I was finally able to get ABS to kick in as I got more confidence in my brakes, which were absolutely fantastic (Hawk FTW).
I think my favorite moment of the day for sure was when my boat was plowing its way around corners, and wouldn't turn, so finally I yelled "ROTATE DAMMIT" and floored in in second and the back end came around just like it should have. Probably a bit crude, but that can be polished out later lol. That was for sure an experience, steering finally with the throttle in some turns, especially on the Shenandoah circuit.
Another funny part of the day was when I told Jon that I was going to take it easy on the first run, and then proceeded to side step clutch dump out of the box spinning all of 1st gear :lol: :lol:. Whoops
Overall, another great MM event :thumbup:
