First-time competitor at this event. I went in this competition knowing I have bought a knife to a gun fight, and my only goal was to have fun and do my best.

Result: P6 of 16 competitors in Limited RWD with a 1:52.004 at Global Time Attack Super Lap Battle, with about 0.7 seconds between P2 to P7, highly-contested battle for the last 2 podium spots.

As day 1 closed, I had exceeded my own expectations. I held P3 mid-day and on day 2 I was in a 5-way fight for P3. This was something I never expected, to be less than 0.2 seconds away from P3 and 0.6 seconds away from P2 in a nearly stock car against the likes of Porsche GT3s, a Dodge Viper ACR, and well-developed BMWs and S2000s. I desperately tried to close the gap but fell short, spinning off the track in my last session. At least I feel good that I gave it my all and didn't leave anything off the table.

I have to thank Emilio Cervantes for this opportunity in my debut for SLB, as well as trusting me with his own personal car and letting me explore the limits of this new and exciting platform. And thank you John Wing for being the superstar miracle worker for prepping the GT350 and two other cars in about than a week for this event.
