I had a lot of fun keeping those dam sixes off my ass. The suckers would pass me on the straights, but I would catch them in the tight turns. What a blast!

QUOTE(396 @ May 25 2013, 01:52 PM) Congrats, It is a fun track. How did you do going through Magic Mt into the Mazda loop? I suppose you are referring to Phil Hill and Star Mazda? This was my second time on the track, so I did much better than the first time, two years ago. Phil Hill, for those of you not familiar, is up a hill on a tight right-hand blind turn until you get to the top. Those who have not been on the track before go pretty slow there as it is blind until you get to the top. If you have taken the apex correctly, you should be set up for a sweeping left then a short straight. Braking is key here as at the end there is a tight, about 160 degree turn to the right and then esses. I did get into 5th on the straight as I was approaching redline in 4th, but not for long. Fourth through the esses, and into 5th again before turning onto the finish line straight. Again, not long in 5th, did so only because my shift light told me to shift. Real hard braking before going onto the finish line straight. Many of the new guys went into the dirt there. I guess they thought they could get around that corner faster than they thought. Well, that is why it is called drivers ed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Congrats on being able to run in 4th and 5th.
That means your carrying a lot more speed through the bus stop into Phil / Magic ( I run with NASA..they call it Magic). NASA will be there again June 1/2..in a week Oh if this was a few weeks ago, you must have been with the POC gang |
