When that first race (above) started, I was nowhere. After the race, which ended up going well, he said that this was something he’d never done in nearly 35 years of pro-level racing, and that the mistake was “awful.” Whoops? We decided right then to be ready and on the grid as soon as it opened for our second race. As this race is more of an exhibition than a real race, the grid wasn’t all that tight heading to the green and we weren’t even allowed to start passing till turn four. And it’s not like I could just get a killer start and go around everyone. That third place I was so proud of in qualifying was gone. And even though I arrived at the grid mere seconds after our sister car, I was barred from pulling up to our grid slot. A mad rush to get in the car ensued, with the quickest suit-up I’ve ever done. Cars from our race group started heading to the grid at the original time. Yet, somehow, the schedule stayed the same. We hung out, chatted, and waited for an updated schedule. The morning of our race was foggy, and cars were delayed getting on track by at least an hour.
