So I'm just dumb enough to think that i can sometimes do stuff myself either better or for cheaper. I also just sometimes enjoy the process enough to want to do it myself even knowing I'll get worse results than if I just paid somebody with more experience to do it for me. Still, call me a gambler but I want to try it for myself.

Hello everyone and welcome to the blog section! This wil be my first post in this now reserructed section where I will put infromation about experiences adjacent to all of my other projects. I don't want to bog down other project writings with lots of semi-related text, so I'll be writing about it all here. So, I'm starting this up again by covering my instructing experience @ Streets of Willow in November of 2023 on the 18th and 19th!

NOTE: There's a lot of non-corvette information in here as I was instructing and I wrote a lot about the instruction. I'm going to be coming back to this article and seperating out the instructing notes from the C5 specific information and putting that all into a blog post and linking to it in here rather than writing about it all here, so forgive how long this is currently!

Another track weekend, and more success! The Miata continues to hold up pretty good! Aside from needing to change the front brake pads, the car conintues to go very easy on consumables. The Hankook Ventus RS4 tires continue to show minimal wear but deliver exceptional grip as well. The car also served double duty again as I had a student in a bit too much car for the track and we instead had them hop in the NC Miata for their last session and they loved it!
Boh set a personal best going in both directions, each incidentally .01 seconds within each other!

Coming into the track weekend with the MX5 Miata there really wasn't anything new mechanically to speak of. Tires were still fine, brake pads were without issue, everything was happy on the Miata. We just got straight to the point of shredding it, and despite the heat the Miata continues to be a standout car with amazing handling that is an absolute blast to shred around the track!
