that was my passenger side sideskirt, when i drained my fluid that morning in the trnny i loosened it up when i was jacking, and it ripped off 1st lap out. glad i didnt get flagged for it. i dont know what i ran in sunday race but i ran a 1:49.7 on saturday \..

wish i had video of sundy race, karl has his up. he was on pole i was 2nd. we drag race on the start , he beats me into T1. i then get ahead at the restart and couldnt hangon as i get in traffic . i was sloppy on sunday.. thats me that dives down into T1 on the outside of Karl after the restart at the 8:30 second mark and at turn 11 i made a bad move by moving over and he gets me on the inside.

from where I was it looked like he definitely outdragged you thru the kink and hes good on the brakes and I could see hes pretty defensive hugging the inside on turn 1

I liked when you both came thru the kink coming up on one of the miatas realy fast.
It was all under braking Karl just took the inside and you both went thru.

i was leaving time in T8 and the Kink. if you listen most of the time i enter the kink theres hardly any throttle untill i clear, normally im flat

i was lifting big time, i just wanted to finish the race and not have to do any body or suspension work.

i stopped at johns shop in Columbia on the way home and pulled a alternator and some other stuff off a junk car for the crx. i forgot that i had that 86 hatch up there, so i pulled the ngk wires, new belt, and a light weight hood prop for the racecar.

After a lot of messing about I made a video of some my last session with GPS data overlayed. I think the speeds are a bit off but you get the idea. The yellow car is a race prepped mustang who was talking like he was pretty fast in class so I decided to try and keep up.

About lap 3 watch how fast a 911 appears in the mirror behind me, I nearly drop it in the carosel when I spot him!

Shane watching this I see I am definitely a bit scrappy. I don't know why I'm kinda "sawing" at the wheel so much? It looks like a few times I was giving it a bit of opposite lock thru turn 4 which I don't remember.

you did just fine. work on the carousel and T12/13 and you will be fast for your setup..
