Apparently, the OP claims to have passed every car in his run group. I gotta call BS on that little nugget of gloating. I got stuck behind him for close to two laps before I got the signal to pass even though I set up camp in his tailpipe. While I was waiting there I scraped the clag off my non R compound tires.
I did win the DE on Monday, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

Any or all of these are MUCH more important than speed, but they all equate to more speed when mastered. Your new, your question wasn't silly nor was it out of line for someone new to track driving. Just get a bit thicker skin and listen to those with exponentially more experience than you and you will do well.

you were not my instructor, you did not drive with me, you do not know my reasons, so keep you suggestions to yourself and do not respond to my posts, is it so difficult to do?

Utkinpol,
Please post your future DE schedule here, to assist me in planning my own DE schedule for the remainder of this year and beyond.
I only started reading this thread late today - and finally made it to the end (???), now it's time for bed. I am blocking RL on my work computer tomorrow. You guys are Bad, Very Bad.
