NASA Comp Licence Attained!!!

Man, why am I so lax with my blogging? Oh thats right, I work all the time and don't have time to breath anymore :)

So here is the situation. Thursday Chris calls me and asks if I would like to attend the NASA competition school with him in 4 days. His father was scheduled to attend the school but injured his finger. I of course say yes and thought in the back of my mind "how in gods name are we going to pull this off?"

But you can never underestimate Chris as he is the definition of a miracle worker. Somehow a few texts, emails, phonecalls, and a couple physicals later we were in the clear. Now were were just short one Hans device, a racecar, and another race car. Again miraculously with a couple more phonecalls and favors the final hurdles were overcome. Chris and Stephanie again so graciously offered their racecar to me and I'll be forever thankful as I could not work out a rental in time minus drive a Spec Racer Ford from Entrophy racing.

But now the weekend is over and I have my provisional race licence so I can race anytime I feel up to it. Just have to build a racecar now !!!

Jaff's 355 Challenge Car at LRP

Video of Steve driving his pops 355 CH at LRP. Jaff is building a SICK E46 racecar. What else could you expect from a fellow RPI grad? Everything has to be overkill :)
