Not sure who saved me a paddock spot, but I really appreciate it.

BTW, I welcome and feedback on my runs. The Saturday runs, there are 3 obvious places where I made mistakes (watch my hands and you'll see). But the Sunday run, I feel was pretty dang solid and I'm not sure where I could go faster.

First off, huge huge thanks to JY for letting me drive his car, it's always a blast, and saving my ass on the drive home. The car is working really really well, I just needed to drive it better lol.

It was pretty cool driving with Jadrice and learning from him. The way he drives the car is so different than I ever thought, smooth is what comes to mind.
Here is his fastest run from Saturday: https://youtu.be/W62ODdeOmgc
And my much slower run: https://youtu.be/aI72pUNHogI

I went slower in just about every spot possible :lol: My gopro was full after his 2nd run on Saturday, so I didn't get my 3rd and fastest run on video for that day. Unfortunately, I didn't get video of Sunday at all. :cry:

As always, I had a great time hanging out with everyone. It was awesome to have such a big ETR group as well.

Didn't get a chance to watch your videos yet Chris, but I hope the walk with Mark and myself helped the ETR members that ran after us. I know I learned that I am not driving my car to its cabability after watching Jadrice drive it and his videos as well. Dixie was a blast and I am looking forward to Blytheville or bowling green or both if they move one or the other to not conflicting dates. See every one on Sunday at our event # 2.
