Posted a few photos in the SPDA facebook group. So as not to step on any toes.. I have lots more, just many people ran license plates so not going to post any of those without permission. If you would like some photos of your own car and you weren't in the advanced group.. Let me know which car and an email addy and I may have some I can send you. Ermm but be specific.. bloo Subaru may not be enough


Oops Targa truck is posted with plates... lemme know if those should be pulled..?

Yesterday was too much fun!

Martyn Sent you a PM.

Here's a short video of one of my runs yesterday.

Agreed, good save! Try for a late apex just at the end/after the concrete and then it's flat over crest. Way to make the next corner after the crest!

PS: we teach 9 and 3

Thanks! Yes I started to figure out the later apex and staying on the throttle from the concrete curbing until coming down from the crest was working for me. Need more practice on that section. Looking at your avatar I think it was you I tried to follow through that sectionin this video. http://youtu.be/OziFmKV9wKE Got in a little deeper that time lol

And I did check myself on the ridiculous hand misplacements. The first part of that video was my second run of the day.

My guess is that was Trevor driving, since I wasn't in many of the Coaches sessions, and I don't remember passing Mel on track. We have to grab 5t:h before the first left crest without the kink else we sometimes bang off the Rev limiter in 4th as we get light on the other side. Then if the front end bites on the right kink we hold revs near 7000 in 5th as we go over the right crest at the end of the straight. Key is waiting for turn in for that right part and dialing the steering in a bit quicker rather than the nice smooth arc you're doing. The fast input feels wrong, but it puts you on the right angle over the hump. I'd Crap my pants if I entered it from the left side of the track because we're still sliding left after the late apex.

Okay I get that. Need to get out there and practice it. Do you have any youtube videos up? Sounds like a wild ride!
