Simple, anyone who is faster than you is cheating.

[Here's a video of my last run on Sunday, before the next downpour. I was mostly doing 2:11s-14s. I put down a few high 2:10s earlier in the day. ]



Very nice John. Sorry that we didn't get a chance to drive together. Must have been on other side of track - especially second session on Sunday - I never even saw Smalley on the track.

Thanks and Indeed. There were many cars I never saw over the weekend on track.

F.Y.I. You forgot to post the link to your video.

No videos - as no rollbar in this car and no place to mount Go Pro unless I mount on tow hook.

I thought it was the time between the Log Book Tech Inspection, and the race.

John V,

Thanks for the feedback. The braking issues seems to trace back to an incident a year ago April with the stock system which has been completely replaced. Your observation is consistent with inputs from other instructors and ride-alongs. It shows up most obviously when a down-shift is involved as I have been (still) working to get use to the pedal arrangement. In any case "Do better threshold braking" and "do not over brake while shifting" are at the top of my "Track To Do Lis"t for the remainder of the season. Tony P. gave me some helps and tips for this at the end of last season which need to be placed on a post-it note in a visible place before each session.

Thanks Again

I didn't realize you were there this weekend. I would've liked to have met you finally (unless I did, and just didn't put 2+2 together). Were you driving the GT3?

That's probably him. He used to drive a Ferrari at DE's....but eventually came to his senses.
