Thanks , have had alot of friends run at Gratten , but have never really viewed a video, so thanks for posting. Was able to figure where a buddy went flying off backwards in his Viper years ago by his description and watching your filming. I could see why everyone told him later, "Man you gotta slow down there some, " ha!
 
Ah, the Jump! I was curious how a Boss took it. In my M3, I could run it without lifting (til the tires come off the ground) and then hammer the brakes when the car lands. Also learned never to lift when the rear is light--got loose coming out of the right leading down hill to the jump. Thought I had it and lifted so as to take it easy over the jump. Rear snapped around on my and we went sideways off the jump.

It's a great track!! Part of the reason that I went with Stiffer springs was the jump -- Running Stock the Trans scoop would bottom out under brake dive after the jump. Fixed that, now I need to see how far I can leave he braking. Half the sessions were wet, so I need a bit more time to dial it in......

Also, all the rest rooms have been updated, including showers!!
 
I'd love to get up there again! Last time I was there in my E36, a cornerworker came up to me and shoulted, "You are late braking the shiznit out of that corner!" referring to T5 after the Jump. That track was made for a fantastic chassis with 250 hp!
 
This thread is now a sticky. Keep those lap times coming.
