I snagged a gig with these guys as an instructor/driver.
nealb gave me the inside line ... thanks Neal ... I guess this would make me a PAID licensed professional driver, eh? :drive: (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

Note the time I posted that and now this time stamp ....
Damn! what a day! It should be illegal to have as much fun as I did today AND get paid for it. Don Barnes is an old Panoz driver and runs the TDE show. He had me go out for a few laps and then I came in and he jumped in the car for an evaluation. We made 2 laps around Texas Motor Speedway infield course and he told me to go in ... We got out and took me to the side and told me to NOT take a customer around the track at that speed. He said he never had an issue with my driving, but I couldn't take the customers at that pace. It was a compliment and I was very humbled by it. He worked my ass off ... I imagine I either drove or rode close to 200 laps today ... |
