Name Craig Richter
Age Sixty something
GT3 2009 TCS National Champion
Perrennial A mainer in Mini. I think he finished 2nd a few years ago
Disposition usually sunny, but can get crotchety
Driving style Smooth and flowing. Almost snot like if you know what I mean

A mentor of mine of sorts. Let me explain the of sorts cause Craig mainly tries to help me with the driving part of the equation. I think part of it is his trying to be helpful and the other part is self preservation. My driving style, let's call it that out of kindness or generosity, is heavily influenced by the "Flyin' Hawaiiian", Danny Ongais. They did not call him Danny On the Gas for nothun. Combine that with 75 year old reflexes, not so good eyesight, and a really fast Mini and you'll figure out where the self preservation comes in.

If Craig decides to share info or an opinion, it'll usually be worthy of consideration.
Craig, I'm going to shake your hand on Saturday...nice write up Granpa.
