Yup WE ALL started in the same shoes. First event I remember my hands shaking and getting all dry mouth Although I was kinda cocky thinking I could beat thits car and that car. Later when the results were posted I was like 10 seconds slower than said cars

You did great today Lawrence. Can't expect too much on your first day except to have fun. Hope your friend had fun too. Videos will be up soon.
Here are some more pics:

I'm far from being a pro It's the car really that makes me fast. And ask Lawrence I'm pretty approachable unless it's after my 3 hour drive home

You worked in the 3rd heat? 2nd heat felt like FOREVER! Stupid airplane pilot taking his little ole time.
