3)\\xa0 Differences between NASA Great Lakes HPDE 1, 2, and 3.

4)\\xa0 We cover some of the tremendous drills that start of most of the track sessions.\\xa0 They are very valuable to improve your driving skills and racing experience in a controlled and safe manner.

5)\\xa0 How NASA GL has altered the different HPDE levels and improved as they learn to account for COVID induced changes and still improve the quality of the instruction for each of their students in a very quick reaction, demonstrating their ability to respond nimbly to their students feedback.

6)\\xa0 Garmin Catalyst first impressions and review after using it to review our track driving for the first time this weekend.\\xa0 The in-car coaching was a very good addition to the weekend while we were in the car without an instructor.\\xa0 We hope to have a full episode with a guest in the next few weeks.\\xa0 We posted a few videos on our YouTube channel that has some of the Garmin instructions included if you are curious.\\xa0

7)\\xa0 Bill is a big fan of the opportunities options that prioritize areas for potential improvement/low hanging fruit along with the potential quantified time improvement potential.

8)\\xa0 Jen asks the question Bill never wants to discuss with Vicki in earshot:\\xa0 How much is it?\\xa0 Vicki, close he webpage, just close the page.

9)\\xa0 Just remember, these are only $500 cars\\u2026\\u2026\\u2026

11)\\xa0 Mork from Ork shows up for a small guest slot, some of you will see it.

12)\\xa0 Bad news on two of our GoPro\\u2019s.\\xa0 They may not be useful for our in-car video due to the dynamic range of brightness or contrast from within the car vs the outside.\\xa0

13)\\xa0 The anniversary that never seems to end.\\xa0

14)\\xa0 A very good discussion of focus and being fresh on track, as well as a probably wise decision to use good discretion and skip the last session at the end of Saturday.

15)\\xa0 Bill\\u2019s prep for a new track is getting better and almost where we would like it to be.\\xa0 The process we use during an HPDE is really getting dialed in and allowing us to get the most out of each stint and maximize the benefit for each HPDE we attend.

16)\\xa0 We cover some of the most significant improvements and a few Ahh Hah\\u2019s from the event.

17)\\xa0 The goal of HPDE 3 to push beyond your comfort level and look for more speed was very good and appropriate after the training received in HPDE 1 and 2 with NASA GL.

18)\\xa0 The go kart track looked amazing, although we did not have a chance to try.

19)\\xa0 Bill makes a play at adding another HPDE/track day for NJMP.\\xa0 Schedule tbd.\\xa0 Details to follow.\\xa0 He would really love to get Jennifer and Vicki out once more with the Catalyst.\\xa0 It should help them both greatly.\\xa0 Some planning details still to be resolved.\\xa0

20)\\xa0 What is left to get Brad safely out the door and what is left to start the process of GHIT Colorado.\\xa0 Look for us to come out to High Plains raceway and other tracks in the area as soon as Brad is set up and ready for us.\\xa0 Also one last chance for Bill to pick on Brad for signing up for several HPDE\\u2019s and not
