Default Fun Run...

My friend Brad is always one of my most enthusiastic passengers, and his enthusiasm usually ignites mine...

This was late in the afternoon of the test n tune on Saturday after I talked Brad into coming along for a ride.



Not the fastest way around but certainly a ton a fun!!!

That was fun. Those are the best passengers. They are best at reminding us that this is fun and to stop picking ourselves and cars apart after each run.

He tried to goad me into drifting it around goosecrap corner on the North end as well (the big right hand sweeper before the slalom), but I knew better...grip is a lot less predictable down at that end.

That slight left hander near the start was a ton o fun all day long. I could make it through the tight right hand carousel at the beginning, point it towards the turn hammer down then just lift on the throttle to set the front, get some throttle lift oversteer, then hammer down again through the turn... It was amazing how much speed I could carry through there (even while drifting it sometimes) and still remain in control for the entry into the next left turn.

The last offset cone in the slalom was my nemesis all day long, I only got that part completely correct once or twice out of about 15 runs.

Too much fun...
