My 2:08.27 lap at the SCCA Club Trial at Texas World Speedway. Not my personal best (2:05.797), but the best I would muster for the day. Note that I tried the high line (or some form of it) going into Turn One, but it did not seem to buy me any time. While that line maintains more speed, I think it's negated by the extra distance over the tight line. Use whichever line you feel more comfy.

They have Sunday sessions 1 and 2, and Saturday session 3. Where are the other two from Saturday and the third session from Sunday?
I had a great time, and some car troubles. I had trouble shifting the transmission in the third session on Saturday and corded the right front tire in the second session on Sunday. So, I did not run the third session. I set a new personal record of 2:11.974 sec. in the second session on Saturday (an average of 79.1 MPH for the 2.9 mile course), and a new top speed on a track with 106.0 MPH.

On a positive note, you set your personal best this weekend. Next time you can set a new one.Quote:
