just got back from the track

started off with the cone course in the paddock just to make sure everything was cool
http://www.blu808.com/f1ls1.jpg
http://www.blu808.com/f1ls2.jpg

then lined up with the skip barber formula cars
http://www.blu808.com/f1ls3.jpg
http://www.blu808.com/f1ls4.jpg

i ran up to the corkscrew real quick
http://www.blu808.com/f1ls5.jpg

the car went wide the first time around
http://www.blu808.com/f1ls6.jpg

ah the traditional corkscrew shot
http://www.blu808.com/f1ls7.jpg

the car had a few issues, mainly with the front wing coming loose, but other than that it held together and handled perfectly.

another mission accomplished!
