Thank you all for your wishes and support..I had refusals, stucks, silly flag issues, winch recovery and last time a tyre pop out, it taught me many things... I was actually surprised to see the calmness, patience and the support of the team. 

I am loving this new found sport it is very thrilling and happy I found the right team to learn and grow. Hope I get this support( I am sure of it) in my forward journey and contribute to the community the same way as I recieve it...

Looking forward to push myself and my car (he is the one I should thank more for taking all the hit and keep me going forward) to the next level.
