Well, Rick, I can't be as charitable as the others. Packing up to go to Maine for a month on an island with NO cars on it, but before I go... Notes from the first thirty seconds... :12 slow shift/aimed too far right/off throttle well before race start stand (beginning of high fence) :14 where are you looking, right now? It's not clear... :15 From the camera angle, you should be MUCH closer to the cones and straighter, so you can be further left at, :16 good turn in point, but hand speed is off No throttle between :12 and :15 but you're not slowing quickly or much at all, so that needs to be tightened up, only half throttle (with the evil breathe at the mid point) from :16 to :20 EIGHT SECONDS of ambiguity! 
:22 no reason to be off throttle at this point, always ask the car for more. Turn earlier and make a broader arc through T3 that allows a longer apex and to end up further left at turn in for T4 :24 what apex? 
:25 where are you looking, right now? :27 you should be MUCH further left. Running over the darker asphalt small circular patches with left tire :29 Hands WAY too slow. Off the brakes too early, on the throttle too early, just as paseb said... That's enough for now...

Which Island? We're in Friendship looking at lots of islands. 😀
Have a great vacation. You deserve some time away from airports.

I hate it when people tell me the car can do a 1:50 �� (not really - I love the getting better parts of driving)
Hoosier 6s, not slicks
Still not at the flat out down the hill - working on it. Butt meter still ringing alarm bells there.
I can push more. Definitely. Still amazes me how fast I'm going at the top.
Thanks!

You, Matt and others, have a great time at LCMT. It's one of the greats!
