I had the most awesome thing happen today!!! I was practicing today when J.R. Hildebrand took me out for a ride in a golf kart to show me the lines. An actaul IPS driver was helping me, can you believe that!!! It was so awesome!!

Practice went well!! I was really kickin some butt. For some reason though I have a braking inability. I just try to accelerate through them. The turn I have yet to master is T1 right off the strait so they made a box out of cones right before the turn to show me how to brake. I was out there for an hour trying to stop in that dang box and then I got it!! I had mastered braking to T1!! I had conquered the "devil turn"! So in all it was succesful and I got to meet J.R. and hang with some Star Mazda drivers.

Sounds pretty cool! Never had the chance to go carting (outside of the slow fare you find at amusement parks), it's got to be quite a rush. Hopefully we'll see you in IndyPro and IndyCar in a few more years!
