The cart domination was anything but, you had me by the smallest of margins. add my 50 lbs of weight and I won!

All I am doing was pointing something out that seemed obvious. Shoot, one of the Super Track friends pointed it out first, I just agreed with his statement. Take my comments with a grain of salt, what do I know...

You should come to an Autocross, we could go head to head in my car with street tires. Then we will see about dominating... If not I will be out, just have to go back to RT for something and then I will sign up. I have always said on here that I will sign up when car is 100%, I am still not there yet.
actually, it was scientifically proven on a mythbuster show. same professional driver, same car, same conditions. average corner speed was slower for late apex but overall lap time was faster. i'm not saying that you should late apex every corner, just some corners that have long straights after.

the only thing you pointed out was you think you know how i drive base on one picture. i could have been swerving to warm up tires for all you know.

there was a guy at kart that was at least 250lbs and put an a faster time than all of us. so where's your weight excuse now.

you have a trailer, take your car to track. you don't have to worry about driving 4+ hours to and from track like the rest of us. i'll gladly come to you for advice when you break my track records. just saying. com at meh.

that's more like checking out the bimmers harking in the lot, that turn is not even that sharp and it's a blind turn.
