I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.

Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?

You need to learn how to f***ing count.

Off to heat yoga with @PitFitTraining. Gonna be sweating like a rapist.
