I think my least consistent turn is Oak Tree. Sometimes I nail it, sometimes I am wayyyy off. I also have trouble judging entry speed for nascar.

That entire portion from 1 through 4 I have down good. The line I take, I'm confident is about the best line available for my M3. The only thing is sometimes I carry a little too much speed into 4 (for the tire conditions) and end up understeering badly even with trail braking. No biggie there either because I'm only off the apex by about 2-3 feet when that happens, just ruins my lap time. So if you watch my 2:13 video down there, you'll see how I did the double input into turn 4. The first input was in anticipation of the understeer, the second was the correction when I was presently surprised that the car actually turned. LOL Which is what I hope to correct with once I pull the pins and get that extra camber. I should be faster in all of the slow corners. 2:10 should be mine! |

Looks like Hurricane Sandy may cramp our style this weekend at VIR.
Although, I wonder how our M3s will handle down the front straight in 60mph crosswinds? (maybe bring the snow tires)

What happens if the event is cancelled due to weather, do you get a refund?

Here's the final "Happy Hour" session from Sunday at VIR with all groups combined. I have armyav8tor riding shotgun because he was bored watching from pit lane. We ate up some black porsches in the climbing esses. I know the music is a little old-school but I thought Neil Peart's drums captured the mood quite well. Interesting how the music syncs up with the action...

Bill, thanks for giving me a ride in your car. Good to have a few dry laps in even when I'm not driving. LOL

Thanks, Doc. I think there's easily another couple more seconds to be shaved off next time. How did your new beast do? Maybe we can get together next time. I could definitely use your wise coaching!

New beast is exactly that. With a lot of respect and caution, I did several sessions over the week end. Stock tires and brakes increased the apprehension level, but with mild fangs showing, I could not resist a little get up and go. Out of Oak Tree, third gear, up to fourth and before the end of the South Paddock, my heads up was showing 145. I quickly lifted and the vette gurdle the remainder of the back stretch.
Now to get ready for next year. Anybody wish to donate funds. Happy holidays all. vz
