This is Sunday's two races, I was battling a bad understeer all weekend. R3 was the worst, but it was my personal best. ??? In the R3 video you can see in most of my turns I never unwind the wheel until I'm at track out. Very unnerving.

Fun watching you run Smitty, won a National Championship there and it was on the same 1.8 mile track you guys were running, so brought back all the memories. Technical track, hard to pass , but you found the couple of spots that were the best places to intimidate your competitors. Most fun watching was you sticking your nose in there announcing your intentions and carrying them through. Remember watching your videos from last year and you have stepped up your aggression , and you are driving well. Tough deal with some minor mechanical woes with the gearbox, but you stayed in their battling.

Owner of the track is a great guy and a gearhead-----------he often takes prospective customers around the track in his Stang , and shows them how quick they can rip around the course ( and it is a V6 ). Keep posting your vids and what kind of times were you turning this weekend?
 
Thanks Bill, I think that is the most aggressive I have driven so far. Having a blast and still learning lots! I'm going to TWS in two weeks, hopefully I can keep it going. Unfortunately, this could be the last year for TWS. If you haven't driven there, you should try and go this year.

Good luck at TWS. I got the chance to run there a few weeks ago and I'm glad I did before they shut it down and make room for housing.
