I love seeing him trying to drift it in the turn arounds

Just doing the "motioning forward" wave wasnt enough, so I said to him "just give me 2 more inches".
I think if you were the one at the start flag on Saturday I was having a hard time stopping where I needed to as well. I just kept creeping up. I drive people nutz when I am starter ... I need to learn a better hand signal.

I was able to follow that

I am very afraid now ... very

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

I think the price will be higher now that it doesn't leak fluids any more.

I like the "you have this far left" method... Hold up your hands up far apart like you're doing the robot, and as they get closer to the line, you move your hands closer together... When they're at the line, your hands touch.
