Wednesday May 4, 2005 Day 5
This update will be short because I’m exhausted and I’m going to try and get some extra rest. The morning run session on the South course at VIR went well, with an overall finish of 10th.

The afternoon I got a little lost between turns 7 and 12. I never could figure it out and as a result my finish on the North course was 21st. The wheels completely came off the bus in the third session in the afternoon, I blew the esses and drove off the track going about a hundred.

I managed not to hit anything, recovered, only to drive off the track again between 15 and 16 a half a lap later. The 2005 Mustang and the Altima GTR both past me. Oh well, I’m going to crawl back inside the squash and see if I can tighten some things up for tomorrow.

My buddy Carl Cayton stopped by with his son Christian to enjoy the fun. See you tomorrow. continue>
