I've taken a couple of laps with Andrew. He grew up with John Heinrcy teaching him.

Plus he "followed" in John's footsteps on being a mechanical engineer.

John is beyond amazing with the calculations he can do in his head. He in the middle of a T1 qualifying race, he's talking to Kurt on the radio explaining how he wants EXACTLY this much of a turn in the left tie rod end to alter the setting. He calculated the metric thread pitch to a certain amount of degrees while racing in the top three and ended up getting the win.

Kurt said he had to get corner weights exactly where John wanted them. If he was off 5 lbs, John could feel it.
