Track day

Over a month ago Zach timidly asked me to do him a favor. Would I go with him to the NJMP (New Jersey Motorsports Park)? At first, I didn’t quite understand why he was so concerned about that favor, but when I realized I’d be getting up at the ass crack of dawn to spend an entire day at a track watching cars and motorcycles speed about I realized it was going to be a very. long. day. I knew that no matter what he was going to go, but I found it endearing that he really wanted me to go with him.

So this past Sunday we got up at quarter after 5 and were well on our way to the track, which was an hour’s drive, as the sun was rising. We got to the track, had the car inspected, moved to a spot to “camp out” for the day and waited for instructions. There was a driver’s meeting at 8:10 am and shortly thereafter Zach’s group got to go out.
