NASA HPDE 1 at Mid Ohio: Session 1- Orientation

This session was meant to be an introduction to the track and the HPDE 1 course as well as our instructors. While it was supposed to be a slow familiarization session, I started turning up the wick pretty quick!
Well... this is it. This was my first time driving a full size car on a race track. It was a dream weekend and I honestly think that learning how to drive a big understeery car (compared to the kart I normally race) will make me faster on the kart track.
Event: NASA Great Lakes Region: Christen the New Pavement
Circuit: Mid Ohio Sports Car Course
Car: 2004 Chrysler Crossfire (Mercedes Benz SLK 320 in disguise)
