Message He wanted to feel the car to get a sense of what I was dealing with so he could better explain/teach me what he thought needed to be done around the track.

He was also having some Z withdraws I'm sure... :)

Either way it was a blast and it just floors me how good the car can be with a really good driver behind the wheel. He really liked the balance < suspension and power > of the car and didn't have any major complaints... < maybe an adjustment to the suspension or two...> Which is really nice to hear seeing how I always thought I was putting the rights parts together... but it's nice to hear confirmation from someone who knows how to drive a car at speed.

Of course this only confirms my knowledge that the weakest part of the car at the track is the driver. Still.

As for pushing it... he said he was about 8/10th's... Which was a great pace for the car and it's passenger.

Later in the day I got to ride with him in his Camaro... what a totally different beast around the track... I could see that as something to shoot for when I feel like making a serious jump out of DEs.

As for Hallett... not sure... we're making a move on a house this week... hopefully.
