Hey all,
A bit late to put these up here but figured some of you guys might enjoy.
Shenandoah:
I went to Shenandoah back in September with the NJ BMW CCA and had an absolute blast. The first run around the course had me completely shocked and overwhelmed... I thought I wouldn't be able to master the course. But I was patient enough to let everything just sort itself out.
I forgot my camera at the hotel on day one... so no footage of me being a newb lol.
Session 3 Day 2
It started to rain mid-session, this was the first time I was on the track in rain conditions so this was a crucial learning experience as well as batshit scary for me lol. Towards the end of the video I end up going sideways coming out of turn 20... caught it nicely and the skid pad training that took place during the day was invaluable here!!
Session 4 Day 2
Last session, I was totally comfortable with the road course by this time... coming through turn 12 I finally had the courage to go flat out over the crest, was definitely a sweet experience. Looking forward to going back next season.
Skid pad session
This was so friggin fun. First time I had ever really provoked the rear end to slip out in non-snowy conditions. Learned quite a bit here.
Lime Rock Park
I just came back from Lime Rock last week and boy that was fun. I felt I could be much faster through the course but my instructor held me back a bit keeping things safe. I would have liked to push the car a bit more but looking at my speeds I'd say I was doing quite well. Can't wait to go back, this was a wonderfully short, quick and fun road course.
Session 4 - experienced lots of fuel starvation here, pedaled the car through all of the corners especially since there's only ONE left turn, the left hander at LRP. I'm seriously considering a swap over to the older fuel tank design or perhaps setting up an accumulator inline with the system. We'll see...
