At the top of the run up the chute as you had to turn right there were 4 lay down cones that we will probably need to throw away as they got killed time after time.lol

yet another spot I didn't get. I was nowhere near those cones. (slow in...hard out) I saw plenty fly into that.. mow all the late outside cones down. and lost all their momentum to the 2 finish turns.

you have plenty of time to think about when you're gonna brake in that thing My second run I got a particularly good run up the hill and was getting close to the limiter at about 70mph when I almost tagged those laydown pointers.
I broke early and tried to get as close as I could to the inside wall. Without fighting the car, that put me towards the middle of the turn and let me go full throttle up to the lefthander double apex sweeper thingy at the finish.

plenty of time my ass! you ever tried to take a call on your cell, fix a sammich, check the rear view (to see if you got any cones up the hill) AND control all those 100 horse powers???

It was mighty close JY, I might have been north of 70mph.. if we had 335's on the rear I'm sure we would have popped the limiter, just couldnt romp the throttle with 315's on the rear. We're down about 150 horses, so reaching the same top speed would make sense, vette is just a lot faster everywhere else.

Best I can tell you is that they'll be up when they're up. There were a lot of problems with axware this time around that resulted in a big computery mess to get sorted out. The data is there so we will get them, but please be patient.

After looking at the video of my last run, I made a different mistake than I made on my first official run. On my first run, I forgot to turn after going through the gate after the pass through to the upper level. On my last run, I turned too soon, had to turn back to get to the gate and it went pear shaped from there. Also, I was up about a full second over my best time at that point and most of that was gained through the exit of the lower sweeper and the lower slalom. I did go a little faster through the first slalom, but not by as much as I had thought. I still wouldn't have caught Gary, but it would have been a lot closer.
I only came really close once to that last laydown. The other time I maimed it. I need to look but I think I hit 66 ish there before braking.
And I'm really needing to figure it what the deal with the brakes are. They didn't stop worth a dam when I really needed it.

does it feel like it requires way more pedal effort than before? brake booster was clogged with debris on berry's car, wasn't working and the braking action was ridiculous.
