That was a great event. Fun people and cars.
I ended up with a 1:593 and he was at 2:01 and change. Think I was a couple of seconds below the 2008-2010 record for the class, we'll see when the results come out.
There is a bunch of time left on the hill for 222, but only to be executed with solid course knowledge and perfect lines. As usual you make up time by carrying the speed out of one corner to the next. For example 222's speed running up to the first set of cones, following the scary twisty bits, was 10mph higher on my low run. The big hp boys were over 90 mph at the speed trap, I was 86 mph and I could have gone faster.
Speaking of off in a flash - on my 2:00 minute run on Saturday I had a total brain fade on turn 11. The brain fade came after making a perfect run up to turn 10 (4th gear), braking at the 3 marker, getting the downshit, which I had missed earlier, and making the corner. And this is a really fast corner. I was so happy about getting all the bits right I forgot about turn 11 (a left) and just early apexed. Well in the next second here I am rushing towards an off - and saying bad words. To make a long story short it's fairly steep there and somehow the car came back. Pretty exciting, but definitely a lesson.
PS... I've never had the car in 4th gear before, but can report it just keeps pulling. I just love this motor, especially now that I have a few more few more revolutions to use. I was shifting at 6500.
