G's 2012 Race Season

[G.Irish]

G,

Remember, none of us are michael schumacher in our first race. Consider this a shakedown and move forward! Sounds like you did pretty well for your first race though! Im glad you got pictures; looks awesome!

Yeah I wasn't terribly disappointed with my pace. I dialed it back on Sunday and actually went faster so that was a plus. I definitely know where I'm leaving speed on the table.

Funny thing was that my girlfriend suggested that I take turn 10 in 3rd instead of 4th and that picked me up some time :thumbup:

Tire temps, tires pressures, video, data, tire swaps, checking coolant, oil, food, water, gear etc etc all end up making you quite busy. It is a huge help to have someone knowledgeable providng support. It really helps you focus on driving instead of being torn in 20 directions. Mike D'Amico crews for me as much as he can, and its a huge help, both mentally and physically. It sounds like there is a lot less prep right now, but I still suggest grabbing a good friend and providng them food/ride/etc to get them to come.

Yeah I hadn't thought about video and data. It would be nice to have someone help download that so I could review things between sessions/races. I need to see if there is a cost effective data aq solution that I can use. I was thinking about using Harry's Lap Timer app with my old iphone but I don't know if I can mount it in a secure enough way for it to work.

Hmm, and I guess I could use a grill master....Kaan you're hired!
