Default the kones struck back

i think a lot of what i learned is still sinking in and hopefully will flow out onto the course as i continue this season

i really enjoyed everything we did and what we worked on

i really enjoyed the instructors, they were really positive about what we could improve on and how to do it

when i got on the highway to go home i heard a wierd noise that sounded like i had a flat front drivers side tire. i pulled over and found that the kones struck back ...

my fender well lining had busted and the screw at the bottom was gone. luckily i had what i needed in my tool box and fixed it on the side of the road.

i also found that the lining behind my front bumper had poked out causing major air flow disruption, so i popped that back in as well.

crazy the stuff you have in your tool box that you'll find out one day you'll need

91 kone killer ~ 3 kones under the car

kones ~ 2 fixable damages

i stopped by my friend David's in Rockledge to also correct the over impacting of my lugnuts ... holy crap some mechanics hate it when a girl tells them the correct torque spec for their car, this azz put them on his way to prove some stupid point .. won't be going back there ever again to have tires mounted.

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.
