The Radical SR3 XX presented unique challenges with its lack of ABS and power steering, requiring precise mechanical control and intense focus. Day one at the Spring Mountain Radical Racing Academy combined classroom instruction with practical track exercises, made more challenging by wet conditions.

On day two, McNulty made significant progress through instructor feedback and data analysis. She improved her cornering speed, downforce utilization, and throttle control, resulting in a remarkable 12-second improvement in lap times – from 1:47 to 1:35.

The experience extended beyond racing, with McNulty enjoying Spring Mountain's premium facilities, including luxury trackside condos and a well-equipped clubhouse. The resort's membership program, offering up to 16 track days monthly across various configurations, caught her attention for future skill development.

This intensive training program demonstrated McNulty's adaptability and commitment to expanding her racing expertise, while highlighting Spring Mountain's capability to transform skilled drivers into even more accomplished racers in a sophisticated, high-performance environment.
