Got my Wheel to Wheel Novice Permit (of the Comp License)

Post by phranquelynn »

Just wanted to say hi to all my CDC friends. Wished I could've made the 1st event. I was at Summit Point going through Driver School for my Novice Permit for Wheel to Wheel Racing. However, I couldn't have done it without CDC. A few great friends (also CDC members) gave up their days to crew for me. Thanks to Danny Kao and Dan Kraus for coming up and crewing. You helped me fulfill a bucket list dream. A very special thanks to James Newman. He expected an easy afternoon, relieving Danny, to watch some racing and maybe checking a tire pressure or two. But within the 1st session of his arrival, I blew the differential. A true friend, he bypassed lunch, jumped under the car and started working. Along with another friend, Matthew Yip, I was back by the last session of the day.

Here's the video of our final track session - the practice starts and race. Details on format on the youtube page.

Looking forward to running with CDC soon!

Looks fun. I was expecting to give the standard comment of don't let the guy in front of you set your pace or line, but I see that you do not seem to have that problem. :o

If anything can be said about franky, is that he jumps 2 feet in haha! After 2 track days under his belt, buys 2 race cars, a trailer, tow vehicle and gets his competition license!

Next thing you know, 6 months we'll see him on the indy circuit!
