Good evening everyone. It is 9:33 and I am beat! The day started with going to bed at 1 and getting up at 4 for the lapping day(I was too excited to sleep). I met up with Joe and we drove over together and also with my mother. We got there and I was super excited and nervous. I spun out once, and went off the track 3 or 4 times in the same spot. Not enough brake and I let off the throttle hehe. Joe took me for a ride in the Redneck Racer. It was a hoot. I was excited. Also got to ride along with an Mitsu. EVO. Pretty exciting. The day ended at 3 with me retiring with a hot and tired engine. I got in 4 good runs with a total of 20 hot laps. The further end of the day got a little hairy. Started with the clutch cable popping and then a rear caliper near locking up. Luckily Joe was here to get me home! Joe I would like to thank you again and publicly for how much work you have done to my car. I couldn't have done it without you and having to sit while you were on the way has gotten me thinking about wanting to do some/more of the work on my car solo... with a few phone calls here and there with quesitons(I know I am full of questions I am sorry). I will keep in touch. No pictures from me.. I was too busy driving! I can't wait for November 4th! I am beat and it is time for sleep. Night all! Oh and Joe 5th gear at 4200 was all she got
