Alrighty, I'll get the eventful shit out of the way. Last session of HPDE1 and I'm Solo. Doing decent, a few places the car is starting to really move through. I spin at T3. At the time I was like wtf I just broke loose. I was taking the entry fine, speed good, similar turn in. Then I see the video. What it looks like from the video as in what the description says on YT:
'Looks like I put one or maybe two slightly off track right as I was turning in judging by the camera shake. Car loss all traction on right side sliding me around try to correct as soon as I felt it and tailslide the apex. I straightened the wheel as I realized I was not correcting this and put both feet in.shooting back out across track.'
Also, that ricer flyby by Kaan at :55 :finger:

Thought I lucked out. Slow orange E36 saved my ass by not allowing anyone behind me to catch up and be close enough. I didn't hit a wall. Go for a cooldown lap and bring her back in cause it was not worth it to continue the extra several minutes in my mind because I want to look at the car. Roll up, look around. I see my lip is gone and just like meh it was pretty fucked up anyways. And then I'm like oh fuck me.
Tires got hungry

It's 5:15 or so on a Sunday. We try to start clearing shit out of the bead and of course after we clean it it is 5:30-5:35 it won't hold air it has a slow leak. Phil's is closed. Closest tire shop is 35 minutes away and they aren't waiting as they close at 6. Yeh. Try going to Autozone their shit Fix A Flat just kept bursting and jizzing white stuff all over me and Kaan lol. Call AAA. It's like 7ish. On phone with AAA for 30 minutes because some bullshit. Fill tire up to 45 psi. Drive to front gate. Tow truck shows up at 8:30ish. Not a flat bed.
Lols

Takes forever to do paperwork. Don't get to Kaan's preferred area shop until 9:30ish. Cry inside as she sits there on a flat and have to leave her. Have to make 2.5 hours to Richmond. Don't get back until 12:30am.
A big shoutout to Kaan for all the damn help. And to Matt for waiting around and sticking with me for a ridiculously long time when he could have left. He made sure I could get back to Richmond with him.
Edit: Been looking over my videos. Looks like I'm running in the low 1:30 range :thumbup: :thumbup: and I have videos cause so don't call bs yet
