Time to scare some more poor innocents lurking around the IRL forum by bumping this thread back up.
But more importantly TK qualified 18th for the race and finished 6th and seemed to have a generally good time.

He said he wants to come back next year.
Not bad for only having 2 practice sessions and not having done a standing start in 12 years...
