Kinda hard to critique on a track I've not been on. Vids are cool, but hard to judge the g-forces in the car. That being said, I'd be braking WAAAYY deeper in the corners. If you're not braking or rolling on the throttle, you're adding seconds on your laps. Coasting is bad, I'm trying to get away from it as much as possible. Your line looks great! What was up with the blue 4 door thing, would not give the point?!?!

yeah I hear ya. vids give you a good idea of braking zones and line at least. as for braking zones...down into turns 1 and 2...I know I can go harder for sure...but 9,10, and 14...it's about at it's limit...when I get on the binders. 10 I can see myself getting a bit further in but I will admit I do coast from time to time...need to work on that. I'm thinking I might be going with that wilwood setup for when I move up to nasa tt with this car honestly so I can throw it in there deeper like I need too. as for that blue civic...yeah he should have let me by coming off of 2 but didn't....that is probably the most annoying thing about point by groups...those that don't know how to pay attention. or when I would catch sti's....they would point me by on the straightaway...but keep the pedal to the floor....and wonder why I wasn't passing them...well probably cuz you're pulling me down the straightaway smart one...then hit turn 1 and I would catch em again. lol.

Yea, that's the bummer part about point by. I'm so not used to that anymore, I ran a T&T session a while back, don't remember why, but it was point by passing. Me and another CMC racer were playing cat/mouse and just naturual instict is to pass anyone, it was hard to get back into that mode.

yeah...I don't mind it until my rhythm gets screwed up like that. I am making my goal for next year to be able to run in nasa tt for sure. although not sure what class I would be slotted in, though I want to be competitive. I have to set myself a goal. I've already realized that just open track days aren't going to be enough for me...going to have to compete for something. haha.
