VIR South Course 4/7/08

Hey!!!!! Watch This Ma!!!

I'm excited about finding some video coverage of my latest track session with Asphalt Ventures. This was taken early in the day, when the instructor was still in the car. We were still working on "finding the line" as this was my first go round with the south course cut through.


By the end of the session I was able to compress my braking zones a bit, more trust in the pedal after almost 6 hours of track time. I was also feeling better about the balance of the car while running solo. The extra unsprung weight of my instructors gave me a false sense of grip, epically on right handers (sweeper after downhill and before fish hook). The car also became upset easier with just me in the car. I guess its time to borrow some scales and move some weight around...


The car absolutely performed throughout the entire day. I took some advice and covered up my tack, but did push the motor HARD at least twice per lap (5700-6200? RPM) as I fell in love with 3 gears power band. The brakes never got soft... I never overheated....


It was truly a great day
