A week late for this post but back on the 18th went back dominion raceway for another TNIA event. I havent been on track in a year so i was getting back into it. In the second session first lap out ran a 1:44.570 and by the end of the session finished with a 1:42.533. Initially i was looking to get a 1:42.7 so i felt i did decent for being away for a year. first time timing myself i felt pretty good about that but i have plenty to improve on. Also was able to get my father out with me for his first time taking a car on track made him real happy as his birthday was the next day.

Well late night update I came home to this from work. Don't know if I'm going to keep it and get it ceramic coated in white or let it go lol. But I like looking at it
