Default BMW Brooksville Wrap-up

I had a great time. Was a great course just like last time. Was good to see Muddy and Chi Town. Good to meet Leonard. Last two runs were slightly interesting on a wet course... had a nice, complete 360... that made my day. Great day even though it was incredibly hot and I am severely de-hydrated and sunburned.

It was good meeting you as well. I'm thrilled with my last two runs. I'm finally starting to get a good feel for how to drive the car fast (rather than backwards). I wish I would have had one more run.... I think I could have hit a 1:04 or maybe even a 1:03.

what was your fastest time of the day? My 4th run (before the rain) Barry said I hit 1:05.5xx. It was a little damp through the first slalom and I was kind of all over the place. Definitely think the 5er had a 1:04 in her today... I just need to get some new tires... my current mis-matched tires are pretty bald.... as you could probably tell from my rain runs

last run was a 1:05.971 or somethign there abouts. Certainly not the fastest around, but.... a full three seconds faster than my previous best clean run. I treated the car a little differently on that pass and it responded REALLY well to it. Another pass and I think I could have pulled another two seconds off.

I was working at station 4 and Jamal and I both said something about it on your last run. You carried a lot more speed through the cross-over and braked later for the turnaround... you also looked like you were being alot more agressive through the slalom.

When I eventually get an extra set of rims 710s it will be... along with some carbotech brake pads... as impressive as your acceleration and turn in are... it is the brakes that really made my jaw drop. Thanks again for the ride.
