Fuel Starvation. It finally happened to me.

Just curious, what group was it you were running with? No offense, but an instructor would be very beneficial for you. Honestly, I wouldn't run with any group that doesn't

Yeah I am sure an instructor would be beneficial but its not like tracking will be something I do all the time. Honestly for my first time ever tracking and on that course my best lap time of the day was 2:21.1 which was on the high end for level2 (which is the novice level) was pretty decent especially cause I kept VDC on. I know I could shave atleast another couple seconds without VDC.

Honestly I don't even know if I will go on the track again its just something I have always wanted to do and liked the chuckwalla's layout. I did think it was quite fun though. Also I was taking it significantly faster than this other 370z (black) who didn't signal for me to pass for over an entire lap on session 2.

That other Z's best laptime for that session was:

2:31.770

Compared to mine:

2:23.997

Here is the vid for that one.

And LOL that the screenshot for the youtube video is when I am behind that other 370z.
