Life updates
My son Brandon was born almost 2 months ago. He’s growing like crazy, because he’s eating like crazy. We joke that he has a “hollow leg”. But, we’re figuring things out as parents, trusting our instincts, and he seems to be doing just fine.
I instructed this last weekend at the Porsche club HPDE at TWS. Probably the most fun that I’ve ever had at the track. I absolutely loved instructing, and I can’t wait to do it again.
In other car news, I bought a Mitsubishi Evolution X MR. It’s incredible. Dual-clutch auto-manual transmission, 4-piston Brembo brakes, 300 hp/300 lb-ft turbocharged engine, AWD, yaw control, and still room in the back seat for my son. I can’t wait to take it on the track, but until the warranty runs out, the M3 will continue to be the track car.
And, finally, I’ve asked Bavarian Machine for an estimate on putting a cage, seats, and harnesses in the M3. Now that I have a son, I really don’t want to kill myself on the track…
