I guess it's not so bad spinning my car into the barrier with liggy in the car
It was a fun day. Rainy in the morning and it started to clear up around noon. There were way more drifters than grip cars. At least they were good for drying off the track. I got my personal best so far today, 1:17:17. I know that's not great, but each time it gets better.
This EVO did not have a good day. On his first set of laps he blew strait through turn 1, past the plastic baricade, past the tires, past the chain link fence and into the bleachers. I was on turn 3 and saw it happen out of the corner of my eye. I think he was ok, but not so much for the car.

Again, I wish I had thought about monoprice before I bought my mount. Monoprice is a GREAT place to buy any a/v equipment. Especially HDMI cables and tv mounts.
Here is my fastest run...
Any suggestions/tips appreciated!

and use more track as Luder mentioned.
If you have the ability to lower vtec via vafc or some other management, this will help give you some lower/mid range power to pull you out of some of the tighter corners where you cant carry quite as much speed.
And tires... tires... tires!

By the final session I ran a 1:14.5, with a still damp in places, and tons of dirt. It is a new persol best, but the tires were more than capable of 1:13 in good conditions, but today was not the day...
And the Evo was funny... I'm sorry to be mean, but to go that far off track is just funny. BTW, off track about 30ft is a row of the plastic barriers with 50 galon barrels filled with water behind the wall. One of the barrels which weigh about 200lbs ended up more than half way across the parking lot...
He seemed to think that it happened due to low grip conditions, but according to Mike, there was no lock-up or ABS, so my guess is that it has his first time on track, so the pads had never gotten hot before, so got the whole first time hot no brakes deal. He said he had a firm pedal, the car just wouldn't stop. I had the same thing happen to me when I forgot to bed my pads after changing them.

^ Sorry for the speculation.
It was just a best guess based on what I had been told by people who had actually seen you go off. (I was somewhere on the north side of the track at the time)
Good luck getting it back up and running.
