Rookie Day Redo

Rookie Day turned out AWESOME! Big thanks to all the Vets for the helpful advice and wheel to wheel "practice". The mock start was a great idea too... before saturday I didnt realize the pace car runs 2 different speeds during the formation lap (scrub tires vs form up). I always thought I was scrambling to catch up then finally caught everyone near the start.
:oops:


Looking back, I wish I would have paid for the weekend instead of trying to work and do rookie day at the same time. I spent alot of time working with green students and not enough time chatting with you guys. Oh well... see you in Jan!

That was planned... You already passed me enough in 2009... you don't need any more practice...

Thanks again to everyone who set this up, and to the vets for taking the time and interest in developing the rookies. W2W is where it is at. I do not think I could ever go back to running DE's, at least with not the same adreline and excitement.
The rain driving definetly improved speeds on Sunday, when the track got drier.
2010 will be an exciting year for me personnaly, as well as getting to each of you more.
thanks again.

Absolutely.. a year to setup the car and time to build cage and add safety equipment... I think AICMC should be inviting ALL the TT guys to Sat. nite tomfoolery and let em climb in the cars and check things out...

I'd be down for that :shock: 8)
