May 2023 Already

Hi Reader. Been a while again. 

I have been working the day job mostly and doing work around the house and on my MG. 

Jacques called and wanted to get my schedule for the next round - I plan on getting some Jim Russell stories from him this round. 

I tried to get a spot at the track (Sonoma ) from the President herself but she is pretty busy and doesn't seem to have time for a dinosaur. 

The shop with the Allard will likely have to do again but the road noise and the occasional bi-plane will be in the audio. 

I also started to do some great editing tutorials for Adobe Premiere. It's not like editing on your iPhone for the 'Gram as one may imagine.

If you are reading this you know about Stephan Wilson and Katherine Legge incident in practice. 

My 2 cents is that racing can be messy and Katherine was a superb driver and excellent in feed back while we were developing the NSX GT3 and shit happens. 

I feel for Stephan. Again if you are reading this you have some idea of the work that goes in and to have an on track incident mess up the plan just sucks. 

I feel for Katherine as well since she has to evict this incident from her head to move forward with the week. She can do it. 

Oh and my respect for Sato in the 1/4" from the wall in practice. My interaction with his is he knew he was close and it helped him feel the wall. 

I cannot recall who said it - Jacques probably -

 "There are two types of drivers. The one's that drive up to the wall and say 'OH there it is and they back off.' The other type is the one that hits the wall to be sure he knows where it is." 

The correctors will debate the above attribution however this is how I remember it. 

Let's hope for a safe 500
