Nothing but respect

I did my first high speed track/training day today in ~108 deg heat at Pacific Raceways. The heat is probably an all time record for Western WA so I barely managed to keep the temp below 280. Well low enough to not hit limp mode. Sure was a lot of information to put together to drive the course respectably (at least to my expectation).

Per the title, after going through the class, working with an instructor and having a friend take me on a few laps in his GT40 (1.2 g in the corners?) (and my instructor in his crazy race modded 911) I really gained an appreciation for what it takes to drive a good line especially at Pacific Raceways. The local Porsche club sponsered the event and they did a great job ........what a blast.

Looks like I'll need to start a new hobby.
