    yes, flogged tons of laps in a 300tt and a SR 240sx. He asked me to pick out some points, so the points I could see the car I pointed a few things out. You think I am wrong? I have laps with the dip and without

    4:59 5:15 good sequence.
    I'm watching what you pointed out...

    0:32: I'm not in the car so can't say, it could be pushing through there.
    0:59: I agree here although he is in traffic and probably isn't worrying about that.
    1:05: Definitely agree with you here. Although by his line in 6 and now 7 he may just be cruising to pass on the straight.
    2:44: Once again I agree with you. It looked like it was pushing though.
    2:49: Definately agree again, his line in 7 is very bad.

    All in all I don't know how that car drives, never driven a GTR on the track so can't really say it all. I think we'd both have to be in the car to really criticize it, I know he's a good driver as I am there every time he's on track. The main thing from the video is he needs to work on turn 7.

    Thanks, I have never driven one either but have instructed 2 drivers at Little Talledega. They only push when you give too much steering input or drive in too hard. The turn in on them is awesome, they work so much better going slower into the corner, and giving tons of power coming out.

    I'd love to drive one on track, I've only had the chance to drive one on the street and only got to experience it's acceleration really.

    Good points. The ones in traffic I'm sure he's just waiting to pass. Those laps were mostly playing around and we were running 1:36s.

    Here's a set that includes a 1:32. I don't think there's much to improve on here

    Sign up with a organization, Chin Motorsports, NASA, Porsche Club, BMW Club, MVP, SCCA, etc.

    SCCA offers 40 minute PDX sessions for $100...can't beat that.

    Get your car ready, don't think you know how to drive good and listen to your instructor, than you will be golden.

    Scott was that you in the blue Subaru? Didn't watch all the video to see if it was. I was there all weekend working.
    didn't see the stickies. someone clue me in please. Thanks you

    Yep. Now that stage 2 weight reduction is complete (gallbladder removed) I'm good to go. The wild thing is that for the last few YEARS I thought I was lactose intolerant and for the last year I just thought it was getting worse. Now that I've got the gallbladder delete mod I can have all the milkshakes I want and no issue
