Default XKR & RAJ - Toast Learning to Drive :)

Just posting some 3-wheel action to see if Raj and Mike will ever come to the track with me

Sharif is still fine tuning the car and driver [ie me] - I've made noticeable progress since feb 2010 when we started all this - still a ways to go and that's what brings me back to each event.

I love the track/HPDE - extremely challenging & fantastic people at the track each weekend.


That's T3 at Road Atlanta.

Nice pic! If you beat me at the airstrip, maybe then I'll come looking for more on the road course. Actually would love to but time remains far too limited for the moment...

I didn't know it until I saw the picture. You can't tell a difference while driving the car.

I have a great pic of Sharif on two wheels, LOL.

I am tentatively going to be up at Virginia International Raceway in Danville Va. for CHIN end of October.

I think you are roughly an hour away, you should come out and take a ride

All I can say is....I hope Sharif does not have you bouncing off the apex like that with street tires.....or should I say, "thank God for 4WD

I am just taking some neeeeeeded vacation with the wife. I did find some time to visit Johnny J Tran a few days ago.

I will find the time to bring "SOMETHING" to road Atlanta.

Good to see you enjoying that car Paul.

great to hear, we need a reunion of sorts at road atlanta looking forward to seeing the new something

Sharif has me and the car dialing in, this is the most rewarding motorsports activity i've been involved with. I get better each weekend, car feels great and improves under tweaking with the help of a great shop - that's the way to do it - with team work. It also takes commitment. The key is to be comfortable first at speed, the lap times will drop the more comfortable you are, don't take risk, look far out, put the car where you want it to be at the exit of the corner. If it feels wrong then slow down, safety first, its not a race, etc.... these are the things that make CHIN fun.

-Paul

Edit: adding a picture of my driving coach on 2 wheels - LOL.
