Mike all I can say is holy crap.... Cobetto or someone in his car was out with us our last session and the way he took 14 was crazy fast. I thought I was doing it fast by braking in between 1 and the arrow he turned in at the arrow and then hit his brakes and pulled me by about a second or maybe even 2. So big ups to you guys to have the stones to do that in a race. Videos do not show the awesomeness of doing that way. That being said I plan on running the Open sessions Friday before the July event to work on this.

Congrats on a great race Saturday!!!

Hey Mike, did you show her how to move brake markers with your quarter panel?

That I did, nope the car ran fine as far as the engine goes and I dropped the pressure on my tires and that helped with the cornering a lot. I guess when you drop the weight of the car a few hundred pounds you need drop the pressure a good bit....

Yea on a qualifying lap I try and brake at the arrow at the end of the back-straight. It's a little hairy. Here's a good video of braking at the last second.

That video defies physics and I refuse to believe it actually happened.
