Nice lines by the way.
Alright. I am not sure if I have seen a red one around. Both of the tracks mentioned look nice. Have you ever run at Mid Ohio?

And thanks for the compliment on my lines.

However, it might vary by who is producing the event.
You are probably right, it might depend one who is holding the events. I definitely want to get a chance to run at Summit Point.

Nice job. I'm skimming through some of your video footage right now. Something I noticed right off the bat is typically the instructors there try to teach the "right line" around that facility. Most notably, through turns 2-3-4 you still have plenty of track to your left to hit the turn in point at turn 4. Another spot you have plenty of track left is turn 8. As you become a more experienced driver, you'll find that you probably want to stay closer to the apex of 8. As you approach turn 9, it's very fast and if you don't go in right it can be very unsettling.

Overall, good work. Due to the layout of BeaveRun, we would benefit from video footage on the other side of the car.


Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the input! I appreciate it.

And I learned from my mistake at the first track day with the video. I just threw it on the drivers side bc it was right there. If you look at my videos from the second track day I put my Go Pro at the top of the windshield. And I really like it there, giving more of a "birds eye" view.

I was signed up and ready to go for the last Flat Out Day, but it got cancelled and I could not make the make up date.

No problem. It's been quite some time since I've done Flat Out instruction out there. But, I'm going to peruse the rest of your videos and I'll gladly give you any advice I can.

Sounds good! Anymore advice or input would be great.

I definitely felt like I did a lot better on my second track day.
