I think L Paul Dickinson's book says, "Don't practice speed, speed comes
with practice"
Good advice.

>> Hello Friends,
>> I want to share the news of completing my first race weekend in my TR3.
>> The 10th Annual Charity Challenge at Sears Point. It was a perfect
>> weekend for me and the car. Steadily improving throughout the weekend
>> and surprising veteran drivers while doing so.
>> I brought the car home clean and did nothing but drive, check tire
>> pressures and add gas all weekend.
>> I was very fortunate to share paddock space with Tony Garmey and his
>> crewman Ray Quick. They generously provided a canopy spot and other
>> amenities throughout the weekend and certainly added a degree of calm
>> for me with tips and suggestions. Thanks, Tony and Ray. My brother Tom
>> and nephew Tommy stood by with much appreciated assistance as well.
>> I completed 3 practice sessions on Friday, 1 timed practice Saturday
>> morning, 4 charity drives ($75/ passenger) totaling 13 laps during
>> lunch at near race speeds and the qualifying race. On Sunday I ran
>> morning warmup, 1 more charity drive during lunch, Triumph club parade
>> laps and the race. I figured that I drove around 160 miles on track.
>> I made numerous passes during the weekend and was in a close battle
>> with a Healey 3000, MGA and Alfa Giulietta Sprint during the race. I
>> was able to get by the Healey and attempted a couple passes of the
>> Alfa and MG, but in the end settled in behind them.
>> What a blast!
>>
>> Dave
