Default First FATT

I did my first FATT last Friday. Freakin Awesome

It was really fun, even though 3 out of 4 sessions were wet.

The last run was by far the best (dry line) I was able to catch and pass several cars that left me in the earlier sessions.

In the wet I was shortshifting and careful not to get too greedy with the throttle, as there was several other cars that went off, including another yellow S2000...

The last instructor I had was a bit leery about getting into another yellow S2000 after that. (he was in a yellow Cobra that went off too)

I can't wait for June 20th FATT, it was well worth the expense.

It's very different than auto-cross, and much more fun, and a better value for actual driving time IMHO.

Regards,

George

PS if you plan on doing this make sure you have good tires (low mileage)

The more S2000's the better.

Here are some pics of me dancing in the wet.

Congrats George!...for not playing in the gravel . I can't imagine how controlled you'd have to be to track the S, or any car, in the wet. Glad you had a great time. I can't wait for the July FATT.
