In case there were any doubts about my driving (ahem, racing!) abilities, these, I’m sure, will settle the matter: in the Cognitive Match California Go-Karting race, guess who came 3rd? 😀 Granted, you may think “well it’s only 3rd”, but it does mean still that I came 1st out of the whole Tech team!
