Sebring Winter Test

Hey, hey.  Well we have started the 2010 season with the official winter test at Sebring International Raceway.  It’s always a relief to get back on the road and test.  It’s a nice break from the shop work, which gets a little tiring after awhile.  Plus it’s good to see everybody in the paddock again after the off season.  At the test Garry Findlay was driving in the Mundill star mazda.

It is always a hectic time getting ready for  the winter test, and this year was no different.  Garry came to MSR houston a couple days before we left for sebring, in order to familarize himself with the car.  He got one day of testing at MSR which helped him be more prepared when we got to Sebring. 

The testing in Sebring went really well.  Garry proved his natural talent throughout the two day test.  Lots of progress was made and he was continuing to improve as the weekend wrapped up.  Garry Findlay has a very good natural awareness when he is driving.  He showed great prowess in monitoring himself and giving impartial feedback about the car.  Many times he was aware of things that he was doing that was influencing the handling of the car.  I was very impressed by the fact that he was very aware of the effects of all his actions while in the car. It was promising and very fun to work with Garry.

I look forward to working with Garry again.  Throughout the week he was very easy to get along with and fun to be around.  I hope Garry is able to make it back to Texas soon for further testing.  Although I don’t know all the details there is some problems with Motorsport Insurance Service.  I believe that the refusal to pay his insurance claim is causing Garry valuable time testing and preparing for the season.  I hope that he is able to further his preparations for the season soon.
