BB's First Day on Track!
I made a dream come true yesterday. I ran out of gas close enough to a station to walk/run and get a gas can (for $25!! Like an airport beer, they know they have you!) and walk back and get to my event on time. Previously, I had called a tow truck upon running out of gas. That was more the nightmare part than the dream part. The event I was headed toward was a Test and Tune at the Mid-Ohio racetrack. This is where Eric and I attended high-performance driving school, so I consider this my home (and only) track! To be honest, I have had great fear of this day. Although all my years of prep were aimed at this, it is very overwhelming to actually be on track. In contrast to autocross, which demands full engine power and full braking force but only for about a minute at a time, a race track is continuous. It seems like wide open throttle or full brakes for 20 minutes. I wasn't sure this project was ready for that length of abuse....
