Glad to see you back on the track. You were having fun and started moving along, it looks like a fun track.
Is the steering wheel deformed from "squeezing it" so hard?

It's actually quite easy to spin in T1 if you don't get back on the gas after turn in. Not sure why your instructor had you cutting T1 short, use all of the track then hug the right edge through T2.

Wish I would have been there, but with two recent Barber events, NASA-MS at Talladega this weekend, Rolex at Barber next weekend, and Chin at RA in two weekends, I'm out of kitchen passes

When I logged in on YouTube there was a message saying, I was now able to download more than 15 mins, don't know why.

The car ran very well, driver needs more work

Its like they say, there are two types of track drivers: those who have spun, and those who are going to. Welcome to the club!

Tim, I will give that a try next time. Both instructors made sure I understood there will be other opinions on lines.

reminds me of a quote "If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough."
Mario Andretti

After watching the videos, I can see opportunities to pick up speed all over the track, as with anything practice, practice, practice.
