Paul, eliminate the coasting, brake less for T1, use the throttle earlier on corner exit, be more aggressive in the octopus and you will drop some serious time. JMHO.

Thanks Gary!! To everyone's point we dialed it down to get the basics right before dialing it back up!! Like everyone said, be smooth and consistent and speed will come. Very very comfortable and in control at these speeds so now it is the gradual process of dialing it up bit by bit section by section and putting it all together. Really appreciate all the feedback.

Scott, your pro coach, was very proud of your work, Paul! Great job!

Consistency, to me, means first hitting your marks...

Wow, Thanks Peter, I am really flattered... I am also very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Scott. He has a very relaxed way of coaching you on what to do, making sure you understand why you are doing it then reinforcing it with you in the car. It gives you a real satisfaction when you can put it all into execution.

I actually spent the entire day going through and compiling 12 pages of notes in my notebook. One page for each turn, drew the corner on top of the page, then the corner notes from Frank (who has been tremendous over PM) and Scott, then a section for what to repeat to myself in the car because I constantly tell myself what to do. I think I gave Scott a headache LOL

Thanks again!
