GR86 Buttonwillow Raceway 13CCW (

This was my 1st time driving the 13CCW configuration and running with NASA. New track, New PB :D I loved each classroom/download meeting after the first 3 sessions, where the lead instructor was talking about driving techniques, doing reflections with us, and calling out the car numbers and drivers who did sketchy things out there. …（⊙＿⊙；）…

This event was actually covered by the "Toyota GR Track Experience," which came as a perk of purchasing the GR86. I signed up for the HPDE 3 group, which was combined with the HPDE 4 group. Later, I discovered I was pretty okay driving as part of the HPDE 4 pack. (ﾟ▽ﾟ)/

The PB lap left so much on the table, including my slowest Cotton Corners of the day, where I slowed down to give a point-by.

However, the day's highlight was that I got a sign-off to do Time Trial events and the Competition Drivers' School from the lead instructor. He drove behind me during a "check ride" to ensure I had good situation awareness and car control. He commented, "Consistent; able to deal with the tail-happy car. Nice. " \(^o^)/

We decided to leave after 3 sessions as it was too hot. Σ（ﾟдﾟlll）
