(November 23, 2008) &#8211; I got the opportunity to test a Pro Formula Mazda car at the Sebring Short Course just recently. The opportunity was provided by the Team USA Scholarship program and the Andersen Racing Team! This was a great opportunity for me because I will be racing in the Star Mazda Championship next year.The day started off early by taking a few laps around the track our rental car. I had already driven the track previously in the year with the Skip Barber National Series so I knew what to expect. Josef and I both got in different cars in the morning and went out together. During my first run I was focusing way too much on the initial brake pressure going into the corners, so I was messing up the rest of the braking zone. After sitting down and going over some data I returned to the track. I was immediately more comfortable with the car in the brake zones and my times started dropping.<\/p>\n<p>As the day went on I was able to look at data and talk with the engineers and really get a better understanding for the car. The car felt much quicker than the Formula Fords in England! They were really a lot of fun and the brakes were incredible! I was really happy to be given the opportunity to test the car. I learned a lot for next season and it was a lot of fun so thank you to everyone at Andersen Racing for giving me the opportunity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Noblesville, Ind.
