Okay, now that I’ve slept and have as coherent of a mind as I will, here are some things I learned/some thoughts: 1. Brain fade does, in fact, exist. After too much time on the track my brain just went blank and I wasn’t conscious of my driving, and as such, was driving very very poorly. That’s when I pulled it in. 2. A little brake-induced oversteer can be good in turn two, if done properly, in my car. I nailed it a handful of times, and hope to work on that at future events. 3. I’m still not sure whether apexing the grand turn around once or twice is more effective. I feel I drive one apex better, but that two is the more “correct” approach, but I don’t have solid proof of either being more effective than the other, yet. 4. I tried driving the higher-horsepower line out of curiosity once through, lol. Not effective. I knew it wouldn’t be, but I wanted to feel/see the differences. 5. Pointing people by is a great way to clear up the track for you, and gives you someone to aim for. Competition mode kicks in a little. ---

so uh I thought this was today since I signed up for it. not realizing the 2 million times I looked at a calendar, the 24th was yesterday. I didn’t even check the threads about it again yesterday till late last night, looking to get directions and everyone was saying how much fun they had. ultimate fail on my part. ---

I came into the last slalom quite fast and the back end broke loose, pointing my nose directly at the curb and some course workers behind it @ maybe 30 mph. I had a moment to decide either to hit it head-on and jump the curb or to pull it sideways, so I pulled it sideways hoping I wouldn’t go over the curb and so the back corner of the car would take most of the impact. Some people told me afterwards that there were a few others who had close calls at that location as well. > > Thanks for everyone that helped push my car off the course, and the help afterwards: > esp.

I don’t even like Solo2Scoob all that much yet I certainly sympathize with his situation. sympathize. sure. but he already went on the record asking for the threads to be deleted. which is nefarious in my opinion. i mean. do you sympathize with someone that says “I’m sorry” after killing a family after drunk driving? maybe a little, but it doesn’t justify what he did… but hey. what do i know. im off to Sunday fun times. have a great day. ---

My thanks to everyone that contributed, I had a blast… special thanks to the food guys, the burgers were delicious! It was nice to put faces to some names. I hope to get out at least once more this year, minus our dog who, despite his small stature, was a huge pain in the butt. The wife is touching up our photos and I’ll post them asap. ---

> [@RedConquestTSi](#): > > There were alot of fast cars out there today, and a few fast drivers. To the kid in the Red civic B16 swap hatch…your car was fantastic! I think we were just about even in turns, you may have had an edge on me. You did in the straights! Hope to share the track with you again! definately had a great time, i was impressed with the neon’s cornering ability, amazing; it makes me want to fine tune my setup for road courses. we both got into some pretty heated battles: it was funny when they switched the direction of the track and maybe lap 2 or 3 when you were in front of me on the turn before the back straight you locked up and slid and i did too, haha. I bet you had a good view also when i was in front of you and spun my car at the same spot, lol. great driving skill also, i never felt uncomfortable having you, the blue, or silver, 1car off my back bumper. ill be at as many of these days as i am available for, its always fun to have someone push your abilities. i was driving all day and have 0 pics, thanks iksho for the shots, anyone else who has more and wants to share that would be greatly appreciated… ---

> [@speedracer329](#): > > great driving skill also, i never felt uncomfortable having you, the blue, or silver, 1car off my back bumper. There’s always a fine line between letting someone know your on their rear (especially for me because I have to do it through corners) and being dangerously close. The entire time I was out there, I never felt anyone crossed that line, which was awesome. I’m glad to hear that none of us put you in a nervous situation! At one point (and I apologized to him afterwards) the Audi (sorry, don’t remember you rname!) caught up to me, but was hanging a bit back, so I thought maybe he didn’t want to pass. After about a lap or so of indecision I backed way off and let him pass. I just wasn’t sure what his intentions were, so it’s good to be nice and clear with your driving when close to someone else. ---

> [@Silver](#): > > There’s always a fine line between letting someone know your on their rear (especially for me because I have to do it through corners) and being dangerously close. well said, i carry a lot of speed into the corners, in general that was where i would catch people, but id give them what i considered a safe amount of braking distance. i hope i didn’t make anyone uncomfortable by pacing behind them. i really would eat up a lot of distance on people in the beginning section of Curve Grande after the hard right turn (tried for the inside line and double apex pushing out to the grass on the front straight). ---
