NASA November Summit Point

steve, nice work. your 2nd time through 3 was much better than the 1st... wish the video hadn't broken up on the 3rd lap. oh well. doesn't make me want to get on track, but does make me want to instruct again... weird.

for the record, i f'ing love T3. in an underpowered fwd you'd have to be a complete asshole to screw anything up there... turn and MASH IT.

Thanks Mike.

I edited the video because I really wanted to be able to compare the line through 3. Here's the new one. Clean turn 3 on the last lap is at 3:49.

The difference is huge. In the last lap I made one steering input turn that put me on the inside curb and then pointed me right at the edge of the pinch in at the exit. I spent most of the day steering in several inches to the right of the curb and then steering back left at the exit.

okay sure, technically every car is a "momentum car" but saying that an E36 M3 is a momentum car to a Miata driver is like saying "ow, I stubbed my toe so it hurts to walk" to a parapalegic.

:mrgreen:

Header wrench brings new life for day 2.


And yes, a special thanks to the crew and to all the instructors.

Meang, what car were you in in group 1? The S2000, Evo, and some guy in an unassuming E46ish 3 series (NJ plates) were reallllly fast out there.
