Unfortunately it looked better than it "went" thanks to the driver. I could not get my act together out there, but still had a good time. I was truly heart broken by that time sheet in the last session. 120mph through #6 is a serious commitment and I did it every lap in hopes of seeing a 1:49.

Hooking it through the carousel in 4th at 90mph is AWESOME! Load the car up, keep it tight, try not to loop it on exit, feel manly. I was chomping down the TTA cars in there, even the GT3 with huge rubbers. I hit the 7200rpm rev limit in 5th a couple times in that corner, that's a Charmin moment. My fastest time of the day was in the DQ'd session, lol.
I need to lighten my front left bad. I could loop the car with steering angle in the carousel, but fought the car in sugar& spice. It was really impressive to see those SM's haul mail through there.

I like when they give you that, you just slapped my mom look for going 4 wheels off. I got DQ'd on session 2, then heard the old TT director and a few others mumbling about having to grid me up in the pack for the next TTsession even though I had DQ'd. Like my lap time was inferior, I'm just going flat out sucka's.

Posted up my Conga line thoughts in the trackjunkies thread.
Between 16 and 15 the track goes off camber slightly and there are those outside rumble strips. When I was finally getting it right I was getting on the gas exiting 17 as soon as the car was settled and then letting the rear slide around when the track went off camber exiting 16, backing the rear tires onto those strips and setting it up perfectly for 15. I bet I was 1 sec faster through there when I let the car slide to set up better for 15.

YOU MOTHERFUCK! I was hardly pussing out, it was a lack of skill. I couldn't seem to get the car to the track out point with the same speed as the SM guys and not sure why. This is where skill fails me, lol. I want to see that video of me punishing the tires in that corner.
