I think the Hoosiers may be.

I know my fastest lap came on them...6 seconds better.

I wasn't driving as hard then either.

Link fixed...

Looks good Trek!

On that lap I could only see 1-2 spots where you could have been on the gas sooner or tracked out farther. Very smooth! Very good!!

I wasnt in the car (3 people??..lol) but it looks like you could have pushed it harder in the carousel and used less brake going into the 11.

Trekkor you definitely know your way around Infineon. Its funny comparing your video to mine. Your short gears allow you to shift about twice as much as I was. My engine also likes to pull from 3500 RPM to about 6000 RPM. So your car is screaming through the gears while mine sounds like I'm out on a Sunday drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

yes, when I hit it just right in 6, I put both right wheels directly on the last ten feet of the rumble strip on exit.

I'm scared to find any more time in 1, 10 or 11. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I viewed it a few more times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Here is my take:

You are driving to the exit in some of the turns. You are are not at the limit of the tires. Not drifting the car to the exit berms, but driving it out there.

Instructors teach you: "late is safe" referring to "late apex" try less brake and more speed. Then try backing the apex up.

You are ultra smooth (which is impossible to teach..and you didnt have when you started all this) but sometimes "smooth" isnt all that. Sometimes it take an "abrupt" change of balance in the car for certain corners.

Bet you could find more time from 7 to 10. You are ripping into and out of the Carousel. On 11 the Spec Miata guys cut the corner over the paint. I was afriad to try it at first, but it was quicker and I didnt lose traction as much as I thought I would.

One of my instructors holds the lap record at Sears in his SCCA class and was following me.

He said he was as fast or faster than me in every turn *except* the Carousel. He said I brake way later than he can and carry way more speed out of the turn.

This was surprising to me.

I was not running it until this past Friday at TH.
It felt fantastic there.

This footage is with the Sweeper Dam™.

Trekkor,

Nice Lines, your car sounds great. Nothing better than the sound of a "six". You can tell that you are carying alot more speed than your previous videos at Sears.
