Me vs. Mooty. The nearly entire 5 seconds is gained through the bus-stop sequence (middle of track lap) and little bit in the S section.
As Mooty would say "More gas, less brake!"

I always enjoy watching in-car track video's, and boy, that little Lotus is FAST!. Question, though, when you refer to 13CW or the other term, is that referring to the track configuration?
Another day of dealing with all the leaves in the yard. Love the SC trees, but the fall is so much work....
Shot my new H&K VP9 yesterday in an IDPA match, did ok, need to settle down with the pistol, coming from a custom 9mm 1911 gun, just very different. One thing about Heckler and Koch pistols, though, they always, always work; never have to clear a malfunction. Hope to make up some 257 Weatherby mag loads today, just got my Redding dies yesterday. Wife and I are really enjoying our introduction to compound bow archery, she really is pretty good. Need to get her and my daughter to shoot pistols more, so they can take their concealed weapon class. Gave my Cylinder and Slide tuned Colt Combat Commander 9mm to my son's wife to shoot, she really likes my downloaded 147 grain loads.
I have a nice run up to Salisbury NC on tuesday, for a VA appointment about my tinnitus and hearing loss, I always wear hearing protection when driving our GT3, can't afford to make my ears any worse than they already are. Will run the 150+ mile trip on the back roads. The old SC/NC roads really do follow the old, old pioneer foot/wagon paths. This time of year, thought, have to be wary of all the leaves on the curves and corners. Then later in the week, head on down to our beach place for Thanksgiving. I am now a member of a really superb gun club down there, can shoot out to 800 yards, hence the 257 Weatherby mag loads to make.
I just love living in this state.
All the best, and please keep up with the track video's.

Button willow is a fun track. It's quite technical, keeps you very busy, the 1 and 1a configuration reward power more than the 13. 13 you'll fine many cars very close to each other, no matter the power. Old Boxsters, 944, and other spec cars are quite fast, about what my times are (sadly for me!). Top time of the weekend in DE/TT was 1:56. A few RL'ers were under 2m.

Oh I know where that time is, in my head and my right foot.
Data overlaid with the fast guys is humbling.

Im guessing your name is Chris...Mine too. Thanks for taking the time to post vids and pics of the weekend. There are portions of that track that are down right intimidating...., at least to me. The hop over the bridge always tightens my S muscle. Sure appreciate all you do for this board. Cheers!
