Thanks everyone for being so friendly and full of info, I really enjoyed the day seeing what it is all about. You will hopefully have a new driver next season, I'm going to start my HPDE instruction next month. I have a couple things to do to the car, and get a helmet and suit, etc. Starting off with a turbo car will require some restraint and an over abundance of caution on my part, but it will work until I can get a spec car.
I'm very, very excited about making this happen, I am only sorry I have been daydreaming about it while I should have been getting started, it is much more attainable than I thought, and going to the track and seeing you guys drove it home.
See you next month!
