My first race, a guest blog on Cold Track Days.

Yep, I was that kid; the one that obsessed over his Hot Wheels. The one that at thirteen years old, would wash his dad’s cars purely for the opportunity to move them around the driveway. Actually, I’m still that kid. I just obsess over bigger, heavier cars now.

This was the part that I like best and reminds me of when I did the Novice program.

What had I gotten myself into? Do I have any idea what I’m doing? Will I remember what the flags mean? When do I have to be at pre-grid? Where’s the driver’s meeting, again? How the %&#$ does this HANS work? Should I have slugged an entire bottle of Gatorade? What exactly is IN Gatorade anyway and why does it look like Windex? Did I mention being nervous?

Nice article, Brian!

It's great to see you out there and I look forward to dicing it up with you. Now, get that Area License quickly!

Mike, why aren't you signed up for ORP... Use some of that Vacation time!


And sorry for the thread jack.

I'd love to but I'm too busy at work these days. May is turning out to be an extremely busy month for me. 787 flight test. Hopefully, June will be more accomodating.

Good luck at ORP!
