Improving at Buttonwillow with 86 Cup - shaving a second off my personal best

Not a fast driver by any means, but the key to improving track times is seat time, seat time, and more seat time.

I had driven Buttonwillow back in ~2005 and was as fast as 2:03 in a much slower car on race tires. In the BRZ, I started out at 2:22 in December 2013, 2:15 in August last year, and now getting into a faster pace.
