The last half of the esses tighten up dramatically, I'm not sure how I'm going to do those without lifting half way through.....

I timed a 2:22 on second video. They will go about 2-3 seconds faster at the race.

From my time at the Cadillac deal, the 180's (12-15) were more of a challenge than the esses, though with less risk due to less speed. Definitely where I've seen the most variety of lines driven.

The triple apex is not hard at all if your eyes are in the right place. One of the most enoyable areas of the track.

The most fun I have is going to a new track after watching some video and a track walk if possible then hopping in da Car and going out to drive Flat Out

ride alongs are for *****'s
