1) You coasted into 3
2) You were a bit late at Apex of 3 which screws up 4
3) You missed the Apex at 5 and couldn't get back to power quick enough for a long run down 7
4) Broke a bit early for 7
5) A bit too early at Tower Turn
6) Need to be tighter on the back side of 17 so you can be full throttle quicker
Looked at my best lap video (Click on my signature lasts video on bottom) and I must agree with all the above.
Sorry Mike, also T17, I am 2 car width to the right, just missing the bump. It sling shots you onto the straight and make the corner shorter too.

That's why I post flatout video's; To get some additional free coaching
You stop learning, you stop going faster :-)
I've gotten some pretty insightful pointers out of posting as well, if you get a wide angle lens and mount the camera further back everyone could see the inputs and you would get bettter and additional input.

Thanks for the input. I will share your observations with Chris when I see him again in a few weeks. I definitely am all about learning. I was never one of these guys that was in a hurry to go solo. I thought it strange to think that way since there so many guys/gals with way more experience than me. Now I have to pay buckoo bucks for that kind of teaching (albeit at a much higher level with someone like Chris)

Yup, I just had my first time coaching only a month ago after just figuring it out on my own and copying others's lines the last 7 years... So listen to Chris not to me hahahaha.
