R E A L L Y nice lap Charlie. Lots of early power, and every bit of road. No wonder you get around there so quickly, you never have to shift!

Yeah, I changed my mind after running a few 58.0xx's that I wanted to see if not shifting would save me a few 10ths...

By watching the video I noticed there isn't much traffic in the high places......

Something to aspire to one day......

Congrats Charlie.....

Excellent lap, a bit busy in the esses!!!

That yellow car is FAST, it's tough for me to pass him.
Thanks for posting, I'll try to upload the track record lap if I remember to grab my video card.

Rockin' lap, Jupe.
The new curbs look pretty friendly, were guys using them?
Can you tighten your camera, it shouldn't shake so much?
Things look pretty calm in that car.
See you at the Glen.

Generally speaking: Track out curbs are ok. Apex curbs you do not want to hit.

Are you saying the curb at West Bend isn't tire/suspension friendly Charlie?


BTW, I may be needing a new Shell decal......

I'll see if the rubber comes off without hurting it... I was a baaaaaaaaaaaad boy.


I'll be at the Glen either way, already 1.7 gazillion laps pumped for that! I may paint some Iapaucci Green stripes on my front fenders between now and then though..

Sorry I didn't get to meet you Brian, you ran a nice clean race. I'm no expert, but from what I saw you can get on the throttle a lot earlier than you were...

Thanks! I'll be at the WG race and I'm usually camped with 38D and DrJupeman. Stop by early or else all the beer will be gone

Definitely true. However, a lot of the footage is in traffic and I was trying to leave a bit of room so I don't catch people at the apex.
