My lowly Boxster and my paddock companion.. a brand new GT3RS.

@Basmitharts tips to newbies to #HPDE and #GrassrootsMotorSports
- hands at 9 and 3 on the wheel: this gives you a full range of movement in case you need to do an emergency move
- separate your inputs: you need to learn how to hit the limits of grip first, get your braking done in a straight line before corner entry then steer the car
- modulate throttle: throttle is not an on/off switch, keep your traction control on until you learn how to feel out the drive wheels

Looking like that's a wrap on the 2024 season

Overall pretty successful year for my NC1 #Miata, I eeked out a 1:18.9 at Waterford today which is the PB on the current set of tires, not my very best drive but recovering lost Horsepower helped

The #24HoursOfLemons Honda #fitposting is on ice until spring next year but we made it to Road America and everyone got a full stint so a huge success

In regard to car shenanigans 2024 will be a year for me to remember

Last #HPDE track day is this Saturday and it turns out the shop working on my #Miata is closed this week

I am going to show up to instruct to see off my people for this season

There's a chance I may let the intrusive thoughts win and see if my $2500 Mazda 3 passes tech inspection for a romp during the instructor session too, we'll see

Heading to an #PCA #HPDE tomorrow. Maybe my swan song if the car doesn't behave.

My first HPDE weekend of the year this coming weekend. A little trepidation as I am only 90% or so recovered from recent abdominal surgery.

Bracket racing is just tactical sandbagging to score a targeted lap time consistently

I managed to score 2nd place out of a grid of 6 entrants, all drivers had a delta of less .1 of a lap or less and my disparity was just .041 of second

The NC passed tech inspection, we're on grid for the bracket race

Might be a busy summer. Registered for all 6 events

New shoes and brake pads for the #MX5 #Miata today. Preparing for #HPDE next week. Trying the PowerStop Z23 this time and some Pirelli P7 that I got on closeout at TireRack.
