Highlights from this episode include:

1)\\xa0 Right off the bat, Bill mis-speaks during his joke, Herb vs Abe, my apologies.

2)\\xa0 Vicki goes over her track prep since this was her first time at this track.\\xa0 Luckily, the track is relatively flat and fairly easy to learn.\\xa0 Vicki\\u2019s favorite section was the 8-9-10 turn complex.

3)\\xa0 We both shared the 2019 Mazda Miata (ND2) and Vicki was able to settle into the new track car.\\xa0 We also go over her impressions of the Garmin Catalyst which is especially useful at Autobahn since the track is relatively short and you get a lot of laps in each session.

4)\\xa0 Our car prep issues with the 2004 BMW M3 (E46) were quite a story.\\xa0 We thought we had our prep processes under control but found something else we can do wrong.\\xa0 And then it snowballed, lol.

5)\\xa0 Lifting on the long straightaways?\\xa0 Vicki had that problem.\\xa0 Emphasis on \\u201chad\\u201d.

6)\\xa0 How did the MSF Level 2 evaluation go for Bill?

7)\\xa0 What trailer does Vicki envy?\\xa0 ALOT.

8)\\xa0 Vicki was unintentionally \\u201cthat guy\\u201d.\\xa0 Or was she?\\xa0 You can be the judge.

9)\\xa0 We also cover how Vicki\'s Instructor (Brandon) did vs the Garmin Catalyst?\\xa0 (Quite well)

10)\\xa0 Vicki (and Bill) had some major accomplishments during the weekend.\\xa0 Any guesses?

11)\\xa0 Some of the issues Bill had instructing at the event.

12)\\xa0 TREC Racing.\\xa0 Ever heard of it?\\xa0 We discuss it and we finally have a plan for this next season.
