The first three rounds I could kind of feel it creeping up, but never enough to really bother me; but then when I went out again for those last 10 minutes, it took hold of me bad. I barely made it back to the pit in time to get some air. Hopefully that's something that will lessen with experience.

Photos:
Uploaded all the photos I took to Dropbox. Wish I'd taken more pics at night. The ones I got of the Z group that was there looked pretty decent (aside from the noise). Also wish I'd taken some from the bleachers in case I could get more of the actual track layout in them. Anyone with access to the club website can feel free to put these up there.

I think I like this one the best, just because the car is getting a little sideways on that last sharp turn before the straight. Was real easy to kick the tail out there.

I tried taking video of all my laps using the Track Recorder in the Torque app, but the app was set to allow it to turn the screen off while recording, which would happen about a minute into it, and would consequently stop the recording, so each one is only a minute long :'( My own fault for not reviewing them after each run...
Thank you Thank you Thank youThank youThank you for making me look like a badass XD
Thats waaaay better than the action shots I took .

Thank you! The pics on Dropbox are full resolution, but I have the RAW images as well if you want to mess with them, just let me know. What you did there looked great. That 'supermoon' was in the perfect spot. I'll be doing a bit post-processing on some of them when I have the time, and will link to them here when I do. Still getting the hang of both taking and modifying photos. So much to learn

How are everyone's wheel bearings? We were all running really high brake temps so keep an ear open for any grinding noises.

Hmm no idea what to do with this double post. But how are the pictures and videos coming along from last night?

And I might have saved a gen coupe's life today. They got cut off by a semi merging and then decided to brake check him doing 75. The semi managed to swerve out of the way but the gen coupe kept messing with him so I rolled down my Window and yelled a comment about his wife's breasts and drove off so he would come mess with me instead of the semi. He quickly gave up and as his wife was yelling at him.

My car came with an AIRAID intake but I need the stock air box/snorkel for when I install a supercharger.

Anyone interested in a straight trade? Could you meet & swap in Tucson in the next week or so??

I made a classified post but would give higher priority to a local trade.

@RedLeader you are carrying a really good line there are some areas you could drop some time but getting every corner right on that small of a track is damn near impossible for anyone without a ton of experience. I was glad I got the time I did and I know with better brakes I could be in the 1min 5sec range beacue just coasting the course I was 108. I would take a few of those entrances a little slower so you could open up the acceleration a little faster. It's all about exit speed and your really aggressive into the corner but you are paying for it on the exit. I would love to fun this course all out with better brakes so I could try to get in the 104 area I know @40flash could with better brakes and tires.

So, I watched the video and didn't get sick. Yay!
Seriously though, I'm glad I remember what the track was like, but I don't think I'll ever go again.
