Yessir, I remember you, we came over and talked to you and some other team members while waiting in that insane Tech line. That was our first race in this car.
Blew up two clutches, a Ram Powergrip and then the cheap AutoZone one we threw in in the paddock. Only got about 5 hours of track time total, but we all got the experience of going 150MPH at Daytona, so that's what matters.
We put in an ACT clutch and SS clutch line and did 15 hours at Hallett with no issues.
Lol. Picture the scene...Gimpy....I smiled as I typed that.............Race on Gimpy..................
I'm a starry-eyed sophomore in high school that just moved to live with my dad. It's a brisk, December Monday in 2012, my first day at my new school. I meet a very cute and (overly) friendly senior girl; I'm in class, she's on her lunchtime, just hanging out in our classroom. She comes over and sits on my lap as she's calling attendance for the instructor. Great first day...
That night, I break my left ankle and hyperextend both knees wrestling. I spend Monday night in agonizing pain and then limp to the ER on Tuesday. Show back up to school on Wednesday with two knee immobilizers, a boot, and a shiny set of crutches. She comes over to ask me where I've been, goes to sit in my lap again, sees my broken, useless legs, and takes to calling me Gimpy.
I ran with it; hey, when you're the weird new kid at a new school, and a popular older girl gives you a cute nickname, you accept it, gratefully. And it turns out, this username is available everywhere!
Only later did I find out some, uh...alternative and less familly-safe uses for that word
Whether you're in the saddle or on the track...............Show em what you got and the "Gimpy" legend will live on!!!!!!!!!!!.........
