Laps 3 and 4 in my vid are 2:42.8 and 2:42.9. I think those are fastest but not 100% sure.

No data on video yet. I have not played around much with my solo dl and gopro and have yet to master these basics.

Lol! Damn that's some drama! I had no idea I was missing this action.

I wish I had the opportunity to go over this with you after your session because you are way the heck off line in many areas. As anyone would be who doesn't know the track.

Sure got to practice your car control skills!

Appreciate the refund

I left after first session on Friday to minimize further damage to my Z06 and could not justify risking brake line rupture and sacrifice my brand new Michelin slicks from all the flying rocks and rough track surface. For those of you in my same shoes but decided to solder on I applaud your commitment and courage to put your machine through the works.

I may try Fernley again if I get a Subaru WRX which will be perfect to cope with the rough and bumpy nature of this track.

i was very tired afte 5-6 laps each session. you had to keep turning and turning, when you stop turning, you go flat straight out and win WRC. i'll show you my trophy!

i was lucky but i did feel the car bumping up and down. lost my brake cooling duct. and my left side lip is "shaved" from doing the turn before the donkey kick. i kept chking pressure, but no drop. so i ran the same tire next session.

btw, that green is very nice on the .2 shape.
