GREAT reference laps! Nice Turn 6 entry and patience, among other things.

Sweet.

Nice driving, but was that a pass under yellow at 2:56 (I could be wrong but station exiting the BS was waving something)? You were lapping him so no big deal except for that rules thingie...

I believe that was a blue flag. There is a yellow later in the video coming out of the toe.

Gary, I think it was a white flag for the slow-moving yellow/red car that then stops on the outside of 5.

New patches have no material effect on the track IMO.

I remember the 52:7 well.... It was a little disheartening for us mere mortals.... Nice!

Going up the damp Esses side-by-side (I'm the goofball in the MINI)--priceless!

IMO easier than Sears Point, but not as rewarding when done well...

My dad and I drove up in my 83 SC cab in 1998 (for the July 4th weekend event Zone 1). My first DE. It's been all downhill since....
