    I pretty much have it. Only waiting for the drug tests to come back but I'm not worried about that. I should be getting a call about it within a week.

    What place did you finish in your race?

    Nice. I need to come out and watch you race sometime.

    I started 8th and finished 8th in the first race, and in the second I started 10th (was pushed back two spots because two people higher on the grid had MDNF in first race) but finished 9th. I'm no Michael Schumacher lol, but they were a really fun first couple races against people much more experienced than I was.

    I really started getting the hang of the track in the second race. My times were consistently around 1:47 or 1:48 for most of the weekend, but near the end of the race day, I broke into the 1:45's. But I know where I can still make up a lot of time. I just want to get out there again asap to keep shaving down my lap times.

    Thanks. You can do it too. You need to go through Skip Barber's 3 day Racing School and Advanced School, and then after you complete a medical exam, you can also be eligible to race in their series.
