Then I found out the run was DNF. I don't get it. It makes me not want to compete anymore

How many runs did you get in your heat?

I would tell you to come out next Saturday except I don't think I'll be able to make that one - maybe ... we'll see.

If you look on motorsportreg.com you will see 3 clubs that I run with. Those are NE-SVT, TCUSA (Track Club USA) and BSCC (Bay State Corvette).

These 3 clubs are for the most part run by the same people just attract slightly different cars aside from the core group. They are all very novice friendly and have plenty of instructors on hand. The car count is kept low in order to keep the number of runs high. They also typically run a longer course than SCCA.

Here's today's video:
