Got my formula drivetech open wheel racing class today at Autobahn in Joliet! I told work on Friday that if the class goes well I'm quitting on Monday :-)

It was a good time! I did a 2 lap ride along with a professional race driver in a Z3 first (he was gooood), and then I took on the open wheel car!!

I got a wheel off a little too much at an apex and lost control, that was scary!!! I ended up doing a few 360s in the grass and almost hit the fence

After that I kept it on the course the whole time, thank goodness.
