Definitely.

My adrenaline was flowing pretty hard the last lap or so, because some moron sent out a Jetta Cup Car driver in training, with the novice group. I didnt even know he was there until I looked in my rear view and saw the upper half of his headlamps (he was that close to my ***). I guess they'd already yelled at him 2 other times to stop riding the newbies and he was ignoring it.

Anyway, I know he'd passed me and whatnot already and I SHOULDNT have even been in that mindset, but you are right, I did hit that corner significantly harder and at a more aggressive angle than any of my other times.

Newbie mistakes.

I happy that you haven't let the accident dampen your spirit, and that you're coming back for more next year.

I'm still putting my track plan together for next year, so not sure how many I will be able to hit but on the short list is:
Watkins Glen (NY)
NHIS (NH)
NJMP (NJ)
Monticello (NY)
Summit Point (WV)
Mosport (Canada)
Calaboogie (Canada)

I agree! Glad you are going back and still had a great time!

Next time you start getting loose like that just give it up, one foot on the clutch and one on the brake. It is not a race so don't try to save it. Trying to save it looks like it was why you went into the wall.
