Atlanta Test Drive
« on: June 25, 2008, 08:44:02 pm »
So first off I go into the bandolero, and what a blast id had. First 2 laps I was speeding and stuff just to see what the car could do. The the next 13 Laps I ran consistent. Got super loose comming off 2, and saved it like a pro. Man it was fun.

Next was the Legends car which involed shifting and using the clutch. I get in and first off I sturggle (Ive never drivin stick before, (Only in arcade games). So after finding out how to shift and stuff I start off great. I come off 2 and see a guy pointing at me while talking to his daugheter (Who just got outta the Bando). So I keep it up and then guess what. Got supper looooosee coming off 4, and then comming off 2 the second lap. I got outta the car and the guy goes, Well you one of the best rookies to come through here and do this. "You can beat me!! well, almost. Ok not really, but your good". I was likee   ;D

So maybe in the winter I will be buying a LEGENDS CAR!!!! ALSO I GOT TO SEE CASEY RODDERICK!! (The god of legends) (In ATL)

Curtis,
 That's Great! I'm happy to hear you finally got your test drives.
Pay attention to driving the car. Don't worry about whose pointing, or the cute little girl.
Messes up your concentration.
 So you decided on the Legends Series? I think it's a good choice.
Your going to start out running with people that have at least some racing experience. That might be a bit rough at first;
But I have faith that you will learn quickly.
 Keep in touch with Pete about  what cars are available in your area. I'm sure you will be able to find a good car to start out in.

 Congratulations! And Best of Luck!!!

Steve

Now he's hooked.   :)

Glad you got a chance to drive the cars.  Check out some of the Steve Smith books while you have some free time before getting into a car.  Also, try to find a legends team that could use some help in your area.  Even if you can only get to the track and lend a hand a few times or can only help them with some work during the week, its all a good learning experience.  Lots of moving parts on a race car that you will need to understand.

Sounds like Curtis had a blast. I remember doing a similar Legend test drive at my local track last year and even the year before that. So much fun finally bought a car and will start racing it soon.

Now we just need to find him a car.
Anyone in the Atlanta area know of a good starter car and trailer for him?

Heehee,

 Of course he will have to post some pics.
Otherwise, I will hound him until he posts them!

Curtis,
 Haven't heard from you in awhile. How you doing?
