Cornering that hard, the inside wheels are having a negligible impact on traction. I think your turn-in was actually a bit abrupt, you jumped the throttle before you were at the apex (based on the fact that you turned INWARDS after you went full throttle, which meant you were still turning in, not letting the wheel play out as you exited the corner) and that's what got you loose more than anything.
The perspective is a bit off since the camera is on the left side of the car but that's my $0.02.

awesome, thanks for your thoughts on that corner. I'll keep working on that corner until I get it....

Would love to make it out there for the Monday sessions this summer (I get those days off). I've got a stock, MY2000 AP1 on Sumitomo HTR Z IIIs with a square setup of 245s. You guys think that's an acceptable setup for a 1st-timer? How will these tires take a good lapping session and what kind of tire wear should I expect?

By the way, Ian, the schedule on your original post doesn't match the one on the website. Your schedule says the first event in May is on the 4th - a Friday, and the Speedway website says it's on May 7th - a Monday. Which is right?
