I took this video on Friday May 13th at Lime Rock Park as part of an AMG Academy program I did that day.
TK was a cool dude to all of us and we were all allowed a hot lap around the track in a CLKBS.
I already took one lap with my instructor, but I wanted to go with Tommy too--so I asked if I could do another hot lap, this time with TK.
All the people were cool and had no problem with me sneaking one last hot lap in
Before I hopped in, I asked TK if he wanted to do another lap because I had to do one with him.
He was totally cool and said, "I'll do this all day."

During the video, we shoot the $h!t about his collection of cars and his thoughts on the CLKBS.
Enjoy--sorry for my giddy school girl laughter in the beginning of the video, but after thrashing AMG cars all day long, lets just say I was on cloud 9
