What’s Good

I posted up some videos of the post SuperLap Battle carnage.  While disappointing to have to call it quits early on, watching those teams battle it out was a blast.  My own adventure was pretty succinct.  Day One I missed the driver’s meeting assembling the car; so, I was cut out of the morning sessions.  In the PM, I did a few shakedown laps.  The car was not holding oil pressure and running a…
