i came by and you were on a long conversation on your phone while working on you car so didnt want to cut in.

i ran black and practiced car control (only 3rd time dsc off). i basically just practiced power oversteer on turns 5 and 9. had my best drift in last session on turn 5. pointed car in 3rd got on throttle, slid the whole turn including apex and straightened out just before the cone on the right side (but gopro died so it didnt actually happen i guess)

i did a few hot laps in session 3 and best time was 1:59 but on video it was really sloppy so I'll shoot for 1:57 ish next time. just giving myself reasonable attainable goals so i actually get better instead of shooting for a certain time. had a real fun time though. cant wait for the next event there.

how about you?

I ran in green. It was my first time there and only my second time on track with the new blower so I was a bit confused in the first session. I was fine in the oval but couldn't figure out the inside. It just felt like an autocross layout and I was trying to figure out the place.

I finally sorted things out by the second session and I ran four low 1:56 laps all within a few tenths of each other.

I was running both Harry's and my AiM Solo and they were spot on all day until the third session when Harry's showed a 1:55:97 and the AiM showed 1:56:01. Doh!
