Hey Tom and other contributors, just wanted to let you know how much us readers love reading your reports, video etc. We appreciate the time you take to write and video your experiences.

I went back to the end of 2014 and did some catching up and its an awesome read to see how you are progressing, sharing things learned along the way, some trials and tribulations and awesome wheel to wheel video.

You could write a book, documentary or do a reality show about all this...very cool.

Thanks, much appreciated.

The moral to the story is that ANYONE can do this if they want. I was a typical 50-yr old first time Porsche and Boxster owner at the start of this journey and had absolutely no plans to build a race car and go racing.

My original track aspirations were to go to the track 2-3 times per year in my stock Boxster just to have some fun driving fast without endangering myself or anyone else.

Sometimes I look back myself and wonder if this is really me?

As I have said before, this has been an incredible journey and learning to drive fast and race is the least important thing that I have learned.

So, get out there and drive 'em like the Dr. intended!
