)I noticed it.. not too bad though
You attacked the track well, I would have loved to be there and scrubbed fenders with you

My first (and only) day at Summit, I ran my Evo (stock at the time) in the wet. Nearly lost it exiting the Wagon Bend (Turn 3) when the rear tires lost traction under acceleration. Did you make any tire/shock adjustments for the wet conditions?

Just a little gas at the apex and the rear woud step out. I think I saw at least 4-5 cars spinning out in the morning. As a matter of fact, as soon as I saw a car turning at the 'dry line' turn in point, I would know he would loose it. Learning the 'wet line' was quite fun, but challenging. I was excited to see the sun come out in the afternoon.

You should come with us to VIR in OCT and SP SHAN in NOV. but I am not sure if i am taking my BMW or my EVO
PM if you want details.
I just saw the video looks sweet. However, are you in the green group? Because that corvette guy was just way off.
What about that turn (I don’t remember the number) the one that you go left on the sement layer then you stick to the left why don’t you cut to the right then to the left?? am missing something? Oh it’s the turn at 2 minutes and 22 seconds.
Hope to see you with us at carguys.

summit in the wet is rediculous. 13 yrs of racing bikes there and i only went out once... in pratice, 1 lap and bagged it. it's killer there on bike weekends in the wet, gotta respect the guys out there gettin points! roebling road in savannah has as much traction in the wet as summit dry!

In particular:
While a traditional line would have you enter Turn 5 from the right side of the track, it is faster to sacrifice this slow turn in favor of high speed down The Chute. Therefore, you enter Turn 5 from the left edge of the track, putting your right side wheels in the middle of the long curved concrete patch and following it around the corner and out to the middle of the track.
