It went GREAT! I had a barrel of fun. I learned a lot about how it works, and I learned a lot of skill. It felt so good to be moving so fast on the track.
I was in a couple of mock races and came in last in one and either last or second-last. And I had a great time in them anyway. Now I know where I stand. I've got the skills. I haven't got the speed. Gotta do some speed work.
My attitude is if I am learning and having fun, my standings aren't important.
Met some nice people, too. There were all kinds of people there: 30 registrants in all. One guy was 59. Another might have been older. There were people -- men and women -- who appeared to be in their early 20's. There was one boy from high school. The folks from Pink Rhino Racing held the clinic and they were super encouraging and helpful.
