Would liked to have spent some time with you Byron. As you found out, big power in a light car is not all it seems when on the track. You also used good judgment driving within your own comfort zone. You did a beautiful job building your car and commend you for bringing it to the track for a shake down. Seemed like everything was working good for you.
Tell your brother happy birthday from all of us!

Thanks boss! I was starting to learn the track and car and relax a little. I kept waiting for the big kaboom, sproing, or (in my case) blue screen of death. I was in no hurry to throttle bomb it and invoke spontaneous disassembly in the next turn. I'm patient...I'll pick up the pace as I improve and tweak/tune along the way. I scared myself enough whenever there wasn't a line of cars behind me coming into the next straight... and left it at that. I was very satisfied. Elated, actually...what a fantastic time!
My brother thoroughly enjoyed the ride...he'll be talking about that for a good long while; thanks for making it possible!
Byron
