I guess my view is, while he appeared out of control, I think he was pretty well aware of what was going to happen in certain corners, and how he was going to handle it. Versus alot of people who just go out there and get out of control, lose it, and bang it up (like me 
)
)

Appeared? Double digit offs doesn't mean it "appears" he was out of control.......he was. If by handle it you mean doing landscape work with his car then you my friend are 100% correct!
Yes there were alot of people that just saddle up and go, this guy went past the limit enough time to tell me he didn't LEARN the car. Not the sign of a good driver.
Anyway, don't want to spend the rest of this thread talking about the mistakes of another guy.

Now that my friend is a good driver. Chris and I ran several sessions together and had the most fun I have had there in a long time! He is 2-3 seconds faster a lap than me so I appreciate him dialing it back so we could run together

Congrats to Chris for smoking that track. Glad BKS got his suspension finally dialed in. Very nice to meet Dell and his wife.
How about the Enduro we were allowed to run yesterday afternoon? Dell you missed it. Brian and Chris were out there for around 1 hour. I was out for 45 minutes until I had to pit due to burning through a full tank of gas. I don't think I saw any cars for 20-25 minutes at a time!!!

I wouldn't exactly call what I did "dialing in my suspension"... It was just a hack that happened to work...
No rear sway bar... It must've worked... Lap times really dropped...

If I could disconnect my sway bar and run in the 2:07's get me a 19mm right now . Brian, glad you made it through the weekend and were able to enjoy the event.

Dell, I have a few videos and pictures of you, Brian and Chris that my wife was able to capture (which is impressive considering how fast your lap times were) from Oak Tree and the upper esses.

Even though it was only a DE and there were no plaques or requests to drive for someone's team at the end of the day I still went home with a big smile on my face. I actually believe I fist pumped out the window more than Lewis Hamilton does when he wins!!
I owe it all to the professional instruction I had with David Murry all weekend and having a good friend like BKS to push me around to those speeds.
Thanks guys for being there and hanging out with me as that in the end is what it is all about. Oh yeah, and new personal best times!!!!

BKS is to you what you are to me! I wouldn't have broke into the 2:08.xx range had I not been hanging on your tail for that last session. So, now my 2 best times (sub :10 and sub :09) came playing lead/follow with you. You my friend get the best out of me on the track. I just might have to hire YOU next time
Drew, I am up at the university right now so I will get the pics (I might also have video) to you this evening. Time to go educate the youth of America
