330SMG- A few things I noticed about your run; you are turning too late and too much and you went through the turn around too wide. Turning earlier and turning less will allow you to carry more speed. Keeping a tighter line will allow to cover a shorter distance. The less distance you travel, the faster you will be.
On all of the turns or just the turn around?
I am usually more patient...but it was hard to judge the turn around because of the slalom right before it. I also was late on the l box at the end, but that was out of fear of catching my right rear on the last cone. I was rushing through the course because I knew I was going to lose time to Russ in the box.
And djben...definetly take air out of the back. I had 48 hot upfront and 36 hot in the back and the car was very neutral.[/QUOTE]
You were turning the steering wheel too late, everywhere. Compare your video to mine, and watch the steering inputs. Mine are smoother, for the most part
, and I use less steering input. You can see when my car turns, I am not turning as sharply or abruptly.

I ran a 53 something the run before but I clipped 3 cones so I was a little timid on this run and just wanted a decent one in the bank since I only had one run left. This run was not one of my better efforts I was just manhandling the car to post a a respectable time , but thanks for the observation.
