Dominion Raceway Trackcross 2018

This was an interesting event for me. I really don't have a read on anything. I kinda had fun. But was mostly frustrated. At summit it was able to do well enough since the speeds were slower and the brakes and tires could keep up but this time around, with the higher speed, everything was struggling. The back end of the car was super wiggly under hard braking, the tires just weren't having it on the faster turns and just overall falling on it's face. Somewhere in the frustration I ended up losing time too. Mostly because I was playing with the line as I was watching other people and Taylor and I theorized over the best angle to take. The morning we only got 2 timed runs which was dumb and waste of damn time, I'd have preferred to skip lunch but whatever, I made .5s second improvement between the two runs. In the afternoon I decided to switch up two lines and I ran a 74 and didn't feel good about it. Then I did a 76 and was not happy. So i went back to the lines I took in the morning, which were a little wider in some places, basically whatever to keep the revs up in the Fit for longer and got it down to 72.6 and then the last run 72.1.

If I'm gonna keep doing these I might need to decide on a more performance oriented car + tires + brakes. Then again, this was $100 for 6 runs (not such a great deal, imo), might need to start working at the track again. I definitely want to be driving...
