Is that gear lever smiling :rofl2:

I think you need to stay in third gear most of the time, it will help you get on the throttle early and smoothly. Try to go for late apexes, I think it is faster with our cars, it will allow you to get on the throttle earlier, maybe a little slower mid turn, but much higher exit speed.

:iagree:

Familiarity to the track is something that makes you fast in any car. Driving in one circuit only for more than three years, made me getting to 80% or more of any car performance easily within few laps. BUT you reach a point where you get bored with the track, I want to try other tracks so badly to test my skills, but cannot.

Just finished a great weekend with The Drivers Edge in Cresson TX at MSR Cresson. Moved from the blue run group into blue solos and was told that I should be able to get a check ride next event into yellow!!

Had some great video, including an decent off road excursion, but sadly i stored it on the wrong portion of my phone so it can't be exported??? oh well.

Also learned that i badly need brake cooling ducts!

This was my fastest lap from me at Thunderhill yesterday. They said it was the 5 mile layout but harry's lap timer had it listed as 4.8miles. Couldn't get the telemetry to be 100% synced with video, but I'll figure it out in due time. First track event with my Z (had raced Lemons in an old 93 300zx on this track) and had a blast. Was only in A group(novice) , but got the OK to go B group (intermediate) next time out, the only one close to me in A group was a C7 Z06, and it wasn't even that close.

Thats an amazing track. extremely jealous!

I love this layout of T-hill, it's almost like 2 separate tracks because you have the faster east side and the more technical, tighter west side of the track. If anybody has any tips/advice, I'm all ears. Was able to drop from 3:40 to 3:38 just having the instructor with me on 1 session, and then was on pace for a 3:35 before I experienced some bad fuel starvation at 3/4 tank (forgot to refuel prior to session) and then got down to that 3:32.03 in my last session. I definitely know there's more time to be gained for sure with more seat time.

That’s a long *** track

I still haven't done T-Hill 5 mile. Just the East course (3 mile?). Still great fun, and still the only track I've been on where I've spun my car.

5 mile course, holy cow crap. I want to do that

Half way through. You have to stop and take a lunch break. :yum:

Three miles is long track lol! Heck I spin out at least once a track day LMAO! Luckily most track I have been to have lots of run off.

I would need to refuel half way through a session!

For some of us. It's a nap break. :rofl2:

I'm the exact same. Even on day 2 of a weekend event my last sessions are faster. I would think the first runs on day 2 would be your best but for me they aren't.

If anyone is in DFW or TX TheDriversEdge.net is two weekends at MSRCresson on the 3.1 track! Its a great track!! And this group is very educational so i always get better by the end.

Its in Oct and Nov, not on the schedule yet but the coordinator attached it in the last email.
