Berry, Moving from the 'Shot Gun seat' to the left seat is going to be a different experience. I am absolutely sure that you will do well. In 2008 when all four of us camped in the sun in the 110 mph division from 8:00 am to 2:30 or so waiting as rookies for the course to open was an adventure by its' self. There were a lot more of the grumpier first timer's than the four of us. Turns out that it was my "Lucky" day as I blew / melted the hydraulic clutch line following 4 others @ 125+ back to LV . Got the fire out with an ABC extinguisher.. and a tow later that evening from LV back to to LV just in time to see the sun coming up . Don't think I'll make an appearance this yr but next May will will give my shark grey Z06 " El-Tibu" a run in the 125 division.
