No hold up at all. I found the clip. I get the feeling you were still figuring out "do I take a right or a left at the end of this straight?".

The next day I get some driving instruction from Rmag and things start coming together so I decide to throw the HOOS on and WOW the car jumps off the mat and starts kicking some *** but it doesn't last too long because I have a very fast leak in the R rear tire combined with RAIN so I pack it in and call it busted weekend.
I'll post up a another vid from the same session running a 1.20 lap which isn't horrible but also not as fast as I'd hoped. I think under better track conditions and a tire that can hold air the car has low 19 or 18. Didn't notice much problem in the turns but braking was not good, when I came in the pressure front was 35 rear 25.

VR - you're confused, I said get weight out of the car 
Ok, ok, couldn't help myself. I'd be game, but probably not at a NASA event, so track time is so short. I'm probably going to do Rezoom one day in September - that might be an option, or later at the Chin event.

yea, stuff definitely came together for you, nice driving! Should have stuck around for Sunday. That 90% chance of rain was a no show and we had perfect weather all day. Best I ever muster in my old GT3 was a low 19, so yea the car can do it. 18 would be ***** out in it ...can't wait to see you post a video of one, I know it's coming (I did a low 18 in my .2RS ...but that's cheating ). Try and Make VIR!
). Try and Make VIR!If I go 18s it'll be on some cheater A6s but I'm hoping the 19 is there now with some late braking and smoother driving/track.

Hey Fritz,
Nice driving, you go up and down through the gears a heck of a lot faster than I (got to work on that among other things....). Nice choice of music, I'm going to be cueing up Rust Never Sleeps and Decade on the old iPOD for the next week or so.
Take care,
Keith

ALL,
I just looked at the Summit Point (main circuit) calendar and there is BARELY anything shown for the circuit from now on. Is this correct??? I WANNA GO TO SP AGAIN THIS YEAR.

There is an advanced DE during the CR in Oct. Good amount of track time if you are a red/black drover. Potomac holds at least one more DE after the CR weekend as well.

If I was smart I'd skip the rowing and give the brake pedal full attention but it's a bad habit and a rhythm thing for me. Braking is so tedious and hard to master but it's truly the difference between fast and slow.

Fritz,
Good to see you and thanks for coming! Sorry again for all your troubles this past weekend. But thanks for leaving early which, no doubt, was the reason the 90% rain forecast turned into the best weather day of the weekend.
Hey, at least the beers we plentiful and cold. Glad we had a chance to enjoy a few. Hope to see you a VIR over labor day!

Nice to see you as well and glad we had a chance to hang out some.
I do what I can
I don't think I'll make the Sept Potomac VIR event but may do the FSR event later in Sept.
