2 weekends down, 6 to go.

The race season is already moving very quickly. I am pleased with the start that I have had so far (which is MUCH better than last year). I am 1 second quicker in my running times (21s), and set a new personal best lap (20.9) this last weekend. The fields were big this weekend, so I'm very please with my 2 top ten finishes on Sunday, which also put in me in > .500 index for each race.

Erin took alot of video over the weekend, which we used as a learning tool. It allowed me to see where I am most weak, whch is the exit of corners. Its something for people to tell you, but to see it for yourself it becomes very clear. I worked on turn 2 alot this weekend and will focus my energy on turn 4 for the upcoming weekend. I really hope to see the teens soon, as I feel like I'm on the edge of reaching them.

I am instructing at a Tony's Track Day event next week, which will be a nice interlude during this 3 week break that we have.

I have registered for the Loudon Classic race, which will be Middleweight Supersport, and is going to be a 25 lap race! I'm really pumped about this race and look forward to the Loudon Classic!
