It was at the beginning of the 1st session, last day. I was the first guy out of the pits, and I ended up catching the last person in the group, and got confused by the caution... OooopS! That was the only real fully clean lap I caught on video the whole weekend...

Very smooth...you made it look like you were taking it easy.

 

In reviewing this, is this the "party" line around this track??

 

is your car an automatic???

 

Mike,

Nice video - Watching it, I felt like I was right there with you!

 

No, it's a 6speed... I'm in 3rd gear from T1-T5, then shift to 4th/5th thru the esses, and all the way to T11. I then shift back to 3rd and "IF" I can carry the speed thru Oaktree (T12) I'll stay in 3rd. If we get caught up in slower traffic I'll down shift to 2nd. I'm turning 532#ft. of torque to the wheels guys, so I use it.

Tom, there are things I would clean up on that lap, but overall that's the "basic" hpde line most clubs teach.

There are much quicker guys out there and some faster footage for sure.
Mike

 

Nice.

Those were some pretty aggressive up-shift blips before the climbing esses!

 

I'm hoping to have a LWFW and new clutch kit installed by the march event. That will hopefully cure the heel/toe shifting I'm suffering on this particular car!

 

I hope u get your rear suspension fixed as well. Looking your avatar pic something must be terribly wrong?

 

Nice vid! Thanks for sharing, makes me want to start tracking!

 

The suspension is fine... it was the nut behind the wheel that needs attention!

Mike
