    Walking the track would be a fast forward of one of your laps

    Watching the video makes me realize that I need a heavier foot and bigger nads next time. BTW.... I saw the tires come off the car yesterday and you might say he was "cording" his way through that last session. Damn fine destruction of tires

    Thanks for the nice comments. Hallet is hard on brakes compared to the Ranch with 3 down hill braking zones. I love the HP Plus brakes and at the Ranch they hold up well, but Hallett destroyed them in fast order in my car. Throughout the sessions I was ahving to brake early. If only I had better brakes?

    As I watch the video it kind of compares watching a video game. Hope we can get more people next year.

    No wonder you're so fast. That 260HP really eats up the straights. It almost looks like someone just shrunk the track! Nice drive, Gary........

    Gary,

    I'm suprised this hasn't been asked yet (maybe I missed it), but what kind of tires were you on at Hallet?
