sweet man.... so was it as BIG as your thought it would be?

 

Yeah...my line map was pretty much spot on...only had to adjust a couple of places...generating the map was really just to see if I could figure what the line should be before I even got on site. Very useful exercise for developing a game plan and understanding what you are up against...worth taking the time to work out.

Compared to Driveway...the turns are quite a bit larger in radius, so the dynamics are a little different. Very long high speed sweepers and straights leading into most of the turns making for higher approach speeds, but more time to set them up and think about what you are about to do.

Once I got my braking zones and entry speeds figured out I was able to relax and work on the line. By the start of my third session I had the line dynamics worked out and was beginning to refine it. I left alot on the table in terms of pace, but kept up with most of the guys in the group and made a few passes. I really enjoyed the change of scenery.

You guys need to come to the next event...don't be worried that your car is not what you think it should be for the track...it will be fine...and besides, you won't really know how it stacks up and what you need to modify until you get her out there. You would really enjoy it.

 

Here are a few pics taken at the event by Mercury Photography. Very nice.
