Please contribute if you have any good ones. Maybe Steve can share his meeting with the tire wall(s)? Sorry, too soon? :P

This is a spin in 3.

I kept hearing all weekend was "South oval for your first TT? This'll be fun". You know what? It was fun.
Accelerometer isn't working properly, but the timing is OK.

Steve, glad you are ok! Nice to see that those tire bundles seemed to just slow you down instead of a much more sudden stop.

What a great event. My passenger seat was occupied almost all of day one with hot lap ride-alongs. I felt like an amusement park operator. Here is one of my best solo laps. This lap was on Nittos and what turned out to be a completely toasted front left wheel bearing. Pretty pleased with this lap for the tire I was on:



Here is a nice long video of open track. Nick F. and I go nose to tail for the bulk of this session. See the time stamps below for all the action and cameos:



0:00- Nick out front
0:00- Tom C.
1:45- Dennis H.
2:01- Nick E.
3:35- Scott R.
6:33- squirrely moment followed by Nick tracking ALL the way out
7:58- Me out front
12:10- finally start to shake that guy tailgating me
13:12- Nick out front
14:10- Micah S.
15:06- Jason R.
15:49- Derek T.
17:10- Matt D.
19:27- Rob S.
20:22- Me out front
21:16- yep, these are now Hoosier RA1s
21:34- Will M. & Nick E.
22:18- Art T.
26:33- Nick out front
26:55- Nick’s “clutch went”, I win

Steve,
So the brakes went into "ice mode" and stayed locked? Were you in Race mode or Sports mode?

I was in ptm: sport 1.

Either ice mode, or some other abs misapplication /failure.

Steve, I hit that tire wall myself two years ago, a little slower. It sucks - glad you are ok.

Thanks for all the vids! I was wondering who send that sod onto the track too! Here's my 1:17 from the morning session - I come in too slow on the oval every time and blow the lap! I'm on 315 square NT01s and still too scared to step off the brake. D'oh! :?
