Well we made it to the track - got through tech inspection (Thanks Rich Welty fro doing the inspection in the trailer - saved me about a half an hour!) and made on the track for the first practice.
So many things I learned from actually being on the track, like - my trick switch setup cannot be seen, only felt when you are sitting in the car with a helmet on - but it worked perfectly! Also, the belts cannot be set up right unless you have full driver's gear on.
The first session went well albeit slower that I would like, but nothing came loose or fell off - big relief.
I did a lot of adjustments and went out for the sprint qualifying and despite feeling a lot better in the car - really did not go any faster. I have a couple of tricks for tomorrow, including a different sett of tires, so let's see what that brings.
BTW - if you really want to follow racing, there is an iPhone app - Race Monitor. It is $4.99, I think and allows you to see timing and scoring of many of the races around the country. Most SCCA races are included - right now you can follow the National Championships in Road America along with the local races at Lime Rock.
My race should be somewhere around 1 - 2pm on Saturday - but I have another qualifying race to get through first.
