Finally nailed T1 at the Ridge

@NoHaveMSG

Finally sorted out the Ridge. Did a 55.4 in qual and did a 55.6 late in the race. Track is definitely faster as our previous best T4 lap times were 57.6 so 2.2 seconds is a big deal and I'm confident that in the right early morning track conditions I can do 54's.

After about 6 or so laps into the race I start committing to T1 and making just 1 braking moment like I mentioned in a previous post. No more 3-step-boogie! Just brake late and carry trailing brake all the way into T2.

I swear this car get's more fun to drive every weekend.


fun note - look for the dude in the stands while I'm going through 6 - has a yellow umbrella and every time I went through the turn I thought a yellow flag was being waived! Super distracting!
