  • Intro to Club Racing Update

    I got my Novice Permit and copy of the GCR in the mail on Friday. I also got my confirmation from the St. Louis region for my entry into the Driver's School, though they didn't seem to get my number correct, 59 instead of 69, I need to follow up with them to see what happened there.

  • Memphis Event March 2006

    It looks like I'll be heading down to the race in Memphis this coming weekend. I figure I should get out and see a club race before I hit the school in two weeks. I haven't been to a club race in a year or two and want to see how everything works again before I jump right in!
