Here is a little / large video clip from this weekends NASA Pit Bull Brawl at CMP that I attended.
“91 Miata in DE 1, session 3 on Saturday. First time driving CMP so still lots to learn about the track.
Had a fantastic instructor with me, very patient and knowledgeable, handles a car pretty well too...Some of you might know his helmet design...
From the starting 2:20 lap times, we were down to the 2:12 – 2:14’s by this session and Sunday we dropped to the 2:06 to 2:10 range…
While I realize that we are not racing or focusing on time, knowing what it was certainly helped me see an improvement throughout the weekend.
The smoother laps where I felt more comfortable and relaxed turned out to be the faster ones, re inforcing what you all have been saying...
Going over the video many times is also letting me see mistakes, things I wasn't picking up while driving...
I also got to see a little bit of what this Miata is capable of, courtesy of a ride along. Very eye opening and extremely helpful for the Sunday sessions and my confidence level...
I have to say that the Traqmate data that I was taken through is really helpful in understanding what is going on when reviewed…A great learning tool in the right hands…Certainly helped me put the on course discussions into perspective...
Oh, look past the bad late braking going into turn 11 at about the 5:50 mark…
Enjoy…
