Doesn't look like a crash. I had my own *** pucker moment when my brakes went into ICE mode going the turn before the front straight with me going 125mph and about a 1-car length behind a vette who was braking hard. I cut to the left (should have done it to the right) and almost t-boned him as she came out of the turn. Thankfully he was a good driver and saw me and dodged me with no incident to either car.

Don't know what it means but 2:09's so far.
Shooting for 2:08 tomorrow, I think there's not much more I can do safely.
Many days to go so not the time to get overly brave.

A fast time here in a 3.8RS is 2:00?

At Sebring I'm 2:28 so 8-10 secs so RS on Nitto's roughly.

Than they sent out the next groups without debris flag. Game over light.

2:09 in the RSA is damn respectable. 2:00 flat for 1CW is flat out quick.

Arrived late at the track so went on track behind the slower cars so no clean laps
Still ran 2:08 on the only clean lap, but the track was 2:07, maybe 2:06 if I had no traffic laps. one more shot at improving time before it gets warmer.

Local fast guy just pulled me to a 2:07 in his 964.
Than I cooled the tires trying to keep up with Mooty, I lost them but kept them in sight running several 2:08's.

It will be too hot but on a cold morning my car is for sure good for a 2:06

First time any track in CA.

Just to know what curb to is huge.
