I forgot to get a physical inventory of the vinyl numbers on hand, and half way through assigning numbers, I realized I didn't have enough and had to go scour local office supply stores for them...And the 3" letters are the biggest I could find in quantity.
I planned the last A & B combined session for the end of the day, assuming a handful of students would have left. Otherwise we'd be looking at 27 cars on the relatively short course. The heat was oppressive...man had I scheduled this on any day within a 10 day range before or after except the Sunday before, it would have been anywhere between 10-20 degrees cooler. I've only been to one event hotter than his, and that was Buttonwillow 3 years ago in the middle of June. But at that one I only had to instruct, not instruct AND wrangle cats. Crazy hot weather, hope y'all had fun.

It was a lot of cars out there, but a few of us found a ton of open track after letting a few cars pass. .

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

It was sure hot... I tried to stay in the room with air conditioning most of the time between sessions and that helped me manage the heat quite a bit Met some great people as an added bonus
This was my second school with the LA group and had a great time. My car, in the other hand, had a bit of a struggle with the heat... Had to pull back quite a few times due to the car overheating. Car is happily resting and recovering in the shade today. |
