Back to the Driveway

What a great night out at the Driveway. Yes, I finished with the pack after 4 weeks of not racing (modest comeback goal achieved, woot!). Yes, I felt great cornering and with my handling. But that wasn’t what really made the evening.

A year ago, a man named Kevin Underhill got in a bad wreck at the Driveway, and unfortunately died a few days later. His heart, however, was used in a transplant for somebody in Austin. 

Well, tonight, the guy who received the heart was there and led us around a neutral lap before our race started as our “pace car” so to speak. It was pretty amazing to be part of something so … movie like. It’s nice to see such a horrible tragedy have a good side, and it was interesting to be a part of that in just a little way.

Good night!
