Also, there is a good video ASM put out on the track with tips. It is worth a watch too as they are a lot faster than most of us

Yes I've watched the ASM video, was helpful for the initial line. I've been struggling with understeer lately, more noticeable at auto X than track however on track sometimes it just felt like the car wasn't turning in fast enough. Since then I think I've rectified that. I had adjusted my self into a hole going the wrong direction with shock settings. Now the car feels on point so I'm excited for tomorrow. Ideally I'll find a dual duty track and auto X setting for shocks and sway bar since I'm lazy and don't want to swap in between.

Did you jump two gears in turn 12 from 4th to 2nd? You're going faster than me and holding 4th into 10 and 11 but it sounds like you drop into 2nd at turn 12. I'm only holding 3rd through these turns. I think I will change my shift point though and drop to second at 13 and hopefully the increased engine braking will help rotation.

Yep I stay in 4th until 12, and downshift to 2nd. Some people just drop to 3rd but I feel like coming out of 14 onto the front straight is so much better in 2nd and I can gain just a tad more through 12 and 13 in 2nd. . I am in an AP1, I cannot recall if you are in an ap2 or not. But if an ap2 you likely would want to do 12,13 and 14 in 3rd. Ap1s can carry about 5 mph more in 2nd and even then you can hear me touch the limiter between 13 and 14. But, it pulls harder out of 14 and pays off down the straight.

So at that last track night at Heartland (last Thurs) during a session I had this TT3 Mustang right on my ass. I pointed him by a couple of times but he just pulled right in behind me for a couple of laps. Turns out he is the director of the local NASA TT region and a W2W racer. He thought I was Tony V (also in a yellow AP1) and was following to video and provide some tips lol. He finally realized it was not Tony but just stayed with me. Then we all met up for drinks after and he introduced himself, and handed me the video on a card and then proceeded to walk me through it giving me tips I love the people I meet at these events! And we are trying to get that to count as my check drive to move to TT at the next NASA event lol!

I will probably share the video but need to get it uploaded and all that stuff. Super nice guy though

Earlier this summer I did a bucket list trip to drive Laguna Seca. Here is my full video documenting the trip.


Here is just my best Laguna Seca Lap. Definitely more time on the table if I can get out there more.


I also recently set a new PB at our local track, Suika Circuit (formerly known as Sandia Speedway) near Albuquerque NM.

Just took my S2K to VIR for the first time, pretty chill lap, didn't trust the brakes a 100% so taking it easy on the straights and lifting off, street tires.
