Track Night at Road Atlanta 4/25

WOW

Had a lot of fun, it was intense. Had lots of fun. I play Forza 7 and used it to get use to the track layout. It was interesting to play the game again after the night.

Good news
no spins / near spins
car felt great and held to the road.

my thoughts on the lap.
turn 1, to 2, like a big ark, car held it well.
turn 2 - 4 like the Forza 7, on braking points
the esses were a blast to take.
5 to 7 were ok, about what I expected.
7 to 10a wow, the car just pulled the entire time, I think I hit 120-125 down that back stretch, then just before or a little after start braking and down shifting.
then to the top of 10b and down to the front straight. There is a huge blind drop there. The instructor said to aim for the yellow on the sign above it would put you in the correct line. Thou I did, but scared my self silly each time.
The Z was great. Front stretch would hit about 100.

hooked I am, glad for the harness and brakes being upgraded

water / oil temps were ok. Thou the brakes did feel a bit funny, not sure if it was me or otherwise.

Oh I kept Traction control on, just to make sure I was comfortable.

Really interesting at speed and having to do many things at once.

It was fun..

BAD -- clutch fluid boiled, at the end of the 2nd run, clutch went to the floor and I left it with my foot. Glad it was the last lap. So I have to get some higher temperature clutch fluid, probably the same that I use for the brakes.

So that was it, just enjoyed it... will do it again...
