Thanks, MMZ.

I was forwarned about how the tires are quiet and give no warning. I will be going back to the TC, definitely.

I'm still training with instructors, and if fact, had an instructor in the car with me on the bad 4th turn. Although, I do better most of the time without one so I can focus on turns, drive my line and deal with traffic appropriately.

As I continue to analyze my day at the track, I was starting to carry more speed in the turns and had tires that were "soapy" because of overinflation setting me up for potential spins on a hot track. My responsibility was that I did not handle the bad spin well and will now need to practice spinning out. My instructor wants me to go work out at a painted go cart track so I can spin my brains out. Hindsite, should have left the TC on. I was assigned to the highest level of class (there were three classes,) but I don't know if that would have slowed me down any in the second class.

This experience will certainly help me in the long run, when I can look back. I get so many opinions, the majority being that I need a different car so I can go faster, which always breaks my heart. Yet, they remind me that starting out with a slower car makes you a better driver. I just want to drive the Crossfire with the windows down and the air conditioner on and have fun. It's now up to me to bring the fun back as I continue to develop my skills as a driver. There is a certain point in racing where the fun stops, and I don't want to get there.
