Default Road trip complete
Road trip from CA to AL and IL and back to CA complete!
I'am pleased at Barber that my times are coming down, considering my stroke, 6 months ago they were 2:05's and now consistently in the 1:54's range.

Trust the Nav! It may take you in so weird places but it will get you there

Took US36 to Marysville KS on the return then down to Salina, KS where the temps were in the 30° range with snow flurries, ugh. 6 hours of undivided two lane roads were enough Then on down to Grants, NM
and on to home in CA.
A good trip indeed!

Mjones why were the cones into the T5 brake zone set up making you go to the middle of the track?

2 choices simulate braking off line or making a pass offline.

Wow! That's fantastic! To drop 11 seconds on a short course like that is amazing!
