DE at Thunderhill on Friday, good stuff! Options

Well, I'm home a day late. More on that later (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

The weather held up nice all day except for about 15 minutes in the afternoon.
It rained for about ten minutes toward the end of one of my sessions. I stayed out on the track tires ( no tread ) until it started loosing grip. As soon as I came in it started hailing. This caused all drivers to come off immediately.

That was it! Dry conditions all day. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)

After that rain I put my street tires on expecting more rain.
Nope. No more, so I put the slicks back on for the rest of the sessions.

On the final open session, I broke my throttle cable on the first lap as I was approaching turn 8. This turn is very fast with no where to hide. Because I was parked right in the run off zone the course went full black flag.
End of day...

My best lap was 2:23.
Last time I ran here my best was 2:30 something.
Point of reference: the session I ran on street tires yielded a best lap time of 2:36.
13 seconds!!

Video coming.

Thanks for the update Trekkor. That bypass freeks me out...car gets light, blind landing and off camber right hander after your car settles down...I always have to take a deep breath just before cresting in order not to hit the brakes...I'd much rather do the cyclone section personally. Does the bypass add or subtract from lap times when going ccw ?
