If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

7 hours of track time! That sound like fun.

Don't forget the Ridge Racing School schedule. 
Porsche and BMW clubs are also planning several events. 
If you've been signed off for solo, Turn 2 Lapping is another option. 

Altogether, there are more track days available than most any of us would be able to afford to attend them all!

Come out to the Ridge this Sunday. Plenty of slots open. I'm hitting Bremerton Raceway for the IRDC track day on Saturday and The Ridge on Sunday. Should get lots of testing time in on the race car. Can't wait!

Carlo will be out there testing again so hoping I can pick up some tips from him and get some data from him to overlay. They are testing the Rick's car again (148) and gettting tons of data so that should be cool to look at. He also might bring out a Spec Miata and do some driving himself.

That car number 148 was FAAAST. Good luck catching him. :-) 

Seems like our track days never match up. Oh well, I'll see you somewhere eventually.

Let's just say 148 with Rick Edwards behind the wheel holds several PRO3 lap records at various tracks around the NW. I think he also was a Grand AM driver as well. Out of my league.
