That particular was a blast with the elevation changes...and going downhill into a stop box even added to the challenge. I slid all the way through the box on my second run and never got over it. Every run after that I stopped too short and left time on the track.

I also didn't get very many runs because Twaits held things up for a while after running out of talent again (his words not mine. )

On the road course yesterday I had a vibration on the high speed portions and I'll bet it was flat spotted tires from that slide through the box.

I'm working on the road course video now. Had a good time there too, with a few sobering moments as well. Was a very technical course with no time to relax and it'll bite you if you don't pay attention...or have a mechanical failure. I had a grinding noise at the end of my third session, probably a brake pad or wheel bearing and the car was so dang hot...I didn't even diagnose it. Just put it on the trailer and packed up camp. Something about seeing your friend run from his car on fire on course will add perspective to the whole deal.

Okay, go easy on me...before this session started I'd only had 11 laps at speed on this VERY technical track.
