    I had not learned that my time is my time until a few weeks ago. Friday was a comp day due to teaching on Sunday. Last week, I didn't even open work e-mail. I took three days and had a blast not even thinking about work once. I became much more productive today because of it.

    Friday, Cindy and I headed up to Texas Motor Speedway. I'll post a couple of videos. It was a day to remember. Already looking at the SRT Driving Experience to find another time later in the year where we can do it again at another track.

    And a few pictures from the Slow ride through the Central Texas Hill Country (Slow rides only get to less than 120 mph)

    Remember to breathe, Tom!

    Were you using your toy at TMS or was it a loaner as part of the class?

    Used their cars. The main thing I would change would be the traction control rule. For inexperienced drivers, I am sure it is a good thing. However, in hard cornering, it would drastically affect throttle response. I equate it to the NASCAR drivers complaining about restrictor plates.
