http://vimeo.com/14789968 Unlike the speedy boy's hot laps here is a video that is ripe for comment. Need to work on threshold braking at the end of the front straight, line and power app in nascar, exit from 5a, more power and straighter line in the esses, less brake in south bend, tighten up the line coming up on oak tree, less and later braking in hog-pen and open up the exit. Watching the video I see I am still droving the 912 up the esse. the 912 was flat out for real and even flat out I could still just connect the dots up the hill and back down the other side. The gear box gets hot and stiff and needs to be shifted gently after 6 laps or so. You can hear a good gear crunch at the top of the hill. The trans get hot after 8 or so laps and gets tight and hard to shift (can hear a happy drover at the end too. Looked down and saw I dropped a second off a lap that I though was sucking which I was, just less than I thought. If I grow a set I bet the car is easily sub 2:05 as is and more if it were well tweaked and or well driven.
Got in some good wing angle tinker time and I think the car will be a bit faster at Summit for it. There is a laundry list of aero work, trans work a little more susp work and I plan to push it a bit harder next season.
