Also, I pretty much know what lap times I run there. If you wanna borrow my lap timer for a few sessions later in the day let me know. It's always fun to see yourself getting faster. Lap timers are a must if you really want to see if what you're doing is making improvements or not.

I'm actually considering trying to run A this time out. I think I'll sign up for I and let Todd know I want to give A a shot.

This is all contingent upon not doing race school...but I'll probably do school.

:D

If you're not doing race school just sign up for A and get it over with. I know I was nervous as heck the first time I did. But after a few sessions I got used to the fast guys blitzing by, and eventually I even passed a few guys myself.

Lap timer is a definite purchase this winter....I'm trying to lie to myself; spreading out purchases, so i can think this is cheaper than it really is.

Maybe I should just say f it and get a timer, was thinking abt getting an app for my phone "trackmaster", but I'm doubting how accurate it is.

I've heard trackmaster is fairly accurate. Probably would get you within +/- a few tenths. Even my xt timer isn't dead on. I've found it reads about .2 seconds a lap faster than what the transponder says during a race.

Oh, and there will be some SV guys out there running similar lap times to you. Resist the urge to blitz them on the straights and try to follow them for a few turns. You'll learn a lot about carrying corner speed.

Good info here, Brandon! Kev and I have bantered about doing the school for a couple reasons, but have also discussed the reservations of doing so right now as well. I'd be a little more comfortable taking school if my times at beaver were in the 11s or 12s, and Nelson in the low 20s. But I am confident in my lines, and am used to being passed (mainly by you fuckers!) So I am thinking about just signing up for I and maybe asking Todd the morning of if for some reason I have an ephipany sometime between now and the 22nd.

Here is your ephipany, grow a set and do the school. :D
Ha! It's tempting, especially with the discounts Todd has going for the event. But I wouldn't be racing until next season. If Todd is cool with that, it is one more reason to consider doing it this year. I like the momentum that I have gained over the last few sessions, and am confident that I can do the school, but don't want to find myself overconfident, and have Andrew constantly looking behind me for his student. :D

I'm sure he's had plenty of that with his female race school students.

BOOM! :D

I am not one of them, just pass me, nothing (positive) to see here....
