Yeah it was cold but I was able to smash my personal best.Ran a hand full of low 18s.When it gets warmer I think I can go 17s easy.:lol:

Holy moly...17's. I don't know what my problem was, but I could not beat my old pavement 24's. How the hell do you do that? I'm consistent, but it's consistently slow. AAAAAaaaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh! Must be Larry's camper that makes you fast.

It wasn't pretty. He was complaining about his ribs and his left hand was bleeding pretty good too. I haven't heard anything update on him, just hope he's OK.

1:18's are great times. It will be interesting to see the times Wood, and other can do now too. I suspect the track will be busted a few times next year.

Question?

With the new pavement and with the track being wider, is is a new track?

Yes, but some of the lines are still the same.

Turn 1 changed to a very late turn in and I take a tighter line in the carousel because of more traction available. The bigger bonus is that if you go off line and when passing there is the same traction there for you.

What about the sealer and pavement breaking up already Geo?

Not an issue, I'd feel the sealer in the bars but it had traction, never a slip or slide.

There are patches in T5, where it was starting to chew up when you where there, another patch in Turn 8 and another one at the entry of T1. The T1 patch took me a few sessions to notice. With the rain and cars there on Sat/Sun, wherever the cars went off they'd drag dirt and mud back on the track. So the track was very dirty and made it hard to see the T1 patch. I was kinda busy there with braking late and turning in. Add trying to get out brake Mike and Jack there so I had other stuff (pun intended) to do there.
