I was the only one on track during that video. =-)

It's far from flat. The course has a 40-50 foot climb at about 1:04, then a corresponding although more gradual drop just after that. It's a bit more than SPR in change, but more dramatic. It's also steeper than The Chute.

I was an interesting start to the student sessions today. Pretty much everyone had a novice and beginner. The novice I had was out for his first time ever in a 2010 Camaro with headers, 100 cell cat, and barely a muffler. No other mods...not even brake fluid. The beginner was out for his second time ever, first time at this course, a paraplegic using hand controls, with a 2010 Corvette Gran Sport. No mods, but hey, it's a 'vette.

I ended up having a fantastic day. Both students were stellar. My Corvette guy really needs a 5 or 6 point harness. Most of the time, people say no harness unless you have a roll cage and seat. In this case, I think an exception is very much in order. He was exhausted after his third session, so he decided to bag his last session. The Camaro guy started off slow, and worked his way up through being the fastest guy in his session, shaving nearly 35 seconds off his first session lap times.

Now, I'm tired. I'm going to shower and take a nap. Doing this stuff in 100 degree temperatures is brutal.
