Traffic & Track Awareness
 
I thought I would post a video of my first session in HPDE Group 3 as there were a number of examples of why situational awareness is the first rule of safety on the track and the street for that matter.

Traffic like that in the beginning would have to suck.

Yeah, our group 3 has the most cars of the four groups. Our group leader asked at least four guys to move up. I think we have something 24 to 26 people. I made the mistake of starting towards the back because I was new to the group and the track.

I love Chumpcar. A friend of mine used to race in it. Can't remember the name of his team.
Did you happen to race and the Corvette track in Bowling Green, KY two years ago?

Hotrodz, what gearshift knob do you have there? Do you run a short shifter as well?

It is a TWM 7" competition knob paired with their short shifter. :tiphat:

Left out the Z. We have a 6 speed so there is room for one more letter.
