Did Monticello yesterday- last session died on right hander- clearly fuel starvation- could not re-start- course red flagged and I towed off- disconnected battery and restarted fine- like nothing ever happened- about 1-2 dots below half tank. Oddly 2010 Nismo was in group after me he had exact same problem but managed to get off track - we each had about same # laps and both gauges just about half full- other than fuel starvation all else good- great track

It depends where the fuel cut hits that determines whether it will pick up again or stall out. If you are accelerating up hill when you get the cut you will stall out if you don't make it to a crest quickly.

Monticello is a very nice track, some others in our Boston group were there a few weeks ago. Hoping to get there myself sometime soon.
