Bob is correct about wanting to get work done faster on the
TR3 race car! I'm now hoping to get it on the track by the fall
events.
Had a blast at TWS this weekend taking the driver training
school held by CVAR. Susan let me use her Spitfire (Tristan)
to take the driver classes. (Thanks Susan!) Wow! Talk
about a great time! First day of class was friday and it
rained the whole day so I ended up running four sessions in
the rain. Missed the 5th session on friday because of a dead
battery. In all the excitement I forgot to charge it between
races....:) (I think that's why I want an alternator in the 3!)
Driving in the rain gives you a healthy respect for what these
cars can and cannot do. Needless to say I'm looking forward
to the next chance I get to be out on the track!! :)
