MGCurry:

Nice race vid, and I like your data acquisition. Lightning is a fun track and can be a moderately fast track, but I have found the key to speed is the set up for the straight in turns 8, and 9. Then turn 10 can become an extension of the straight.

You might want to look at this link as it talks about two different lines and approaches through the bowl. On my last visit there, I practiced option 2, the Power line. It uses two track markers to help you set up for 9. The station, and the back wall. If you practice this method the key is the timing on moving across the track from right to left as you create the apex at the seam in the wall. This allows you to throttle up early for 10 and carry your speed into the straight.

I'm not sure which group you will run this weekend, so be care of traffic in turn 9 and talk about this approach with your instructor before hand.

Good luck and I'll look forward to seeing you at NJMP later this year.
