Memorial Day NHMS 2014

From a new guys perspective the weekend was great, school in the rain was a real eye opener, thanks to the instructors and every one in the paddock that gave me advice, I learned a ton and had a blast...super special thanks to the It7 guys, you all made my first race weekend the most enjoyable experience it could have possibly been!

As a newbie to the track, I was in relatively happy with the weekend. My dad passed the school, but needs another school before his license. The torrential rain really messed with him, as all he got was mist on the windshield. As for my own racing, thanks to all the leaders for not running me over as I was being lapped (again, and again). I got faster in almost every session, until the Sunday afternoon race where I just hung around my morning quick time (but much more consistent). The other highlight, I wasn't last!
I installed some new brakes over the winter and what I found out was that they are really strong, but touchy. In the hairpin at 3, I had a couple lockups, one I'm sure which caused some commotion at the corner station, as I missed the concrete by about 6 inches. What it is telling me is I need more tire, or at least not super old heat cycled tires. Look forward to running with you guys again.

A new one-handed technique. While holding the transaxle into 3rd and 5th. Without power steering. With a 13B-powered Miata chewing on my ass.

Never again. Arms/shoulder hurt; way too much work. Need to be a steward and just DQ people instead.

Needle bearings on 3/5 shaft or 3/5 shifter fork?

Even better: I'm flying in, from Ohio, a Honda transaxle-specialist/scientist, who will be doing DNA-chemical/carbon-dating/genetic-testing/climate-warming evaluation on said transaxle while the rest of of us grill various forms of protein, all while simultaneously consuming various brewed/malted/fermented beverages (except for the "flying" part; he's coming in via Greyhound and Metro North).

Translated: party at Kessler's on Saturday. MistaBone's showing up. BYO protein and beer. No, really, seriously.

I read "Ohio" "Honda" "Transaxle"... I am like "Bones"? Yup. Have fun - say hi to "transzex" for me.

I can't think of one track I'd mind trying to drive one handed but NHMS would be at the bottom of the list. Nice job.

Once again, spectacular pictures! Thank you! I really like the ones over looking the speedway with the clouds (I'm assuming that was Sunday)
