At lightning today and there is hardly anyone here... Probably cause the forecast is calling for rain all day. Gonna try and have some fun and slide the car around a little.
Yeah, just easy off the gas and ease on the brakes. You don't want to do anything abruptly while having two wheels on track and two wheels off track because of the traction difference.

Have fun and be safe at the track.

Its crazy when you get in a car with an experienced instructor and you see how late they brake. I remember riding with Tim at pocono on my first track day and he went down the straight and never braked going into the first turn, just dipped the tire off my exact thoughts were "holy mother of god" but it was all good. It was the same riding with Andy at monticello. If you wanna be fast its all about seat time!!

Glad you guys had fun out there. I cant wait to get back on track

Chu congrats on the SM win. Car looks good with those new decals

Marc your hardcore dude......you def have more track miles this year than my car has seen in total this year.
