First time to Watkins Glen

You looked awesome out there. I wish i had more track time w the tires i had on my car. i think i could have been in the high teens. Couple things i learned from that track. If you take turn 8 wide you can come out onto the last straight faster putting you drivers side tires off to the left of the cememt. Seems slower but it is actually faster. Also in turn 10 in you turn in a little later it feels a little smother and you can gain a mph or two. This is what i found in my car with tires and stock susp. Porb a lot different w coil and what not. But it might help you next time

qustion. going through the esses what gear where u in?

Slow in fast out is almost always quicker, but if you check the video you'll see that I'm on the gas before the apex in every corner so I don't think going any wider would help my particular setup. I'll try to get a video up with telemetry so you can see my corner speed and acceleration points.

I was in 4th gear from T1 all the way to the top of the esses where I had to grab 5th. These tires are kind of tall though, on the shorter Nitto's I had to change to 5th 2/3rds of the way up.

I agree you have a MUCH different set up then me haha. plus im not that experianced. Id love to see a video like that. It could def show me where i could improve.

Thats what i was doing. I was grabbing 5th onto of the hill right before the right hander to the back straight. i would just let off right before the esses and have it floored all the way though. Id be interested in seein what u did.

you guys make me sick, i can barely redline4th until the very end of the staight. i cant carry the same speed going up the hill with the stupid tires. i was doing around 1g up the hill, you guys must have been doing about 1.1 to 1.2

wh1te370z

you still had a faster time!! haha

i hate being slow....

Very light lift into 2 and then flat to the boards the rest of the way up. I'm processing the video with the GPS data, when I have that I'll let you know.

full lift into 2, wipe my pants clean, another lift into the left hander and then flat out to the top. of course this doesnt include the big waggle as i straighten the wheel
