any comments, critique, etc. welcome!

Two minor critiques:

Turn 2: You aren't tracking out all the way. The usual saying of you payed for the whole track and so on and so forth. You should be able to pick up a tine amount of speed by tracking all the way to the right.

Turn 9: You, like many many people, are pinching this turn. With the right line turn 9 becomes pretty straight and quite fast. If you watch this video (I think it is by Orthojoe), you can see that he goes through turn 9 with a minimum speed of about 70 Mph: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI08YWtfX3w"]2:15 lap time at Thunderhill in a Subaru BRZ - YouTube[/ame]

I am planning on making the 2nd.....gotta work the 3rd dammit

I will teach driving school on Sat and run open for time trials....need to redeem myself after my poor hung over showing last time.... Anyone is welcome to ride with me in driving school or open....I will ride with anyone who would like....

I also hope Jessie makes it....I plan on setting the fastest lap time in HIS car next time.....

Thanks. That is my video. The secret to turn 9 is an early apex and throttle on as soon as you turn in. If you find yourself not tracking all of the way out to the exit of 9 and pinching yourself off, you are either late apexing or need to get on the throttle sooner. Turn 8 is similar. If you look at my vid, I'm not doing turn 8 properly. I should be on the throttle as soon as I turn in.

Yeah, that video is immensely helpful in demonstrating a good line in these cars. Mostly stock with a good line at a fast pace with solid data logging. I've lost count of how many times I've linked people to it. It is one of those simple things that is honestly beneficial to our community.

BTW, are you planning any HOD events or other track days soon?

@icemang17 aww man haha lol. WE are trying to make that date. Everything is already being expedited.

Thanks. I'm glad you find it helpful. Watching video of others and myself really helped me advance over the years.

I just finished a Sonoma day recently. I won't be back on track again until Sept 1st at MRLS with NCRC. Thill is too hot for me this time of year. I might do August 1st MRLS with HOD if I start getting withdrawals...

Damn, I guess I won't figure out who you are for a good while then, all the MRLS days are weekdays and I need to save my vacation for the Sept. Lemons race.
