Vroom vroom!

Friday was busy at work. Had sushi for lunch at Edo's. Met all the main staff now, sushi chefs Luis and Koz and Keio, the head hostess. They're some really nice folks. Wrapped things back up at the office then cut out to head to the track. Bill and I picked up a bite to eat then headed on. After we got our pit armbands we walked down to the trailers and met up with John and Frank. Got John ready to go for his warm-up practice time and he took off. After a couple of laps, he got into the gas a little too soon and the car came around, smacking into the pit wall. The car was a bit banged up - John thought he was done. Bill, Frank and I got to working on the car and had it ready to go for qualifying. I used a LOT of duct tape to repair the sheet metal tunnel feeding the radiator. Bill and Frank were working topside to fix the nose as best they could.

Watched several other classes race before our race began. It was exciting! John had another wall run-in but it was relatively minor. He finished the race... he wasn't last - AND the car survived! All in all, it was a good experience for us all. John had raced in the past but on much larger tracks in an SCCA class. This is his first foray into round track racing.
