Here's my 9th of march. I was 4 seconds slower than my best. Why? Lot's of excuses but probably shaken conference. First group out a car hit the wall. Second group out, another car in the wall. Hit the track for practice and WTF! The rear end of my car was way loose. What's going on? Well, I corded my front Hoosiers on the 3rd so I scrambled and found some Hankook Z214's locally. The combination of new fronts and worn rears put me in a place I've never been before.

The video, well I was behind a Honda that wanted to warm up his tires and I didn't push it. When I saw the EVO coming it was past time to pass the Honda. I was spinning the rear tires, or taking extraordinary measures not to in almost every corner. I completely lost traction once which is obvious from the smoke show. Look for it. Low rpm's in second and up in smoke, not even WOT. I'm surprised the video doesn't show more of my struggles. Needless to say, I was entering the corners with extreme caution and waiting for grip to put the power down. I'm super disappointed. New Hoosiers are on order. BTW, I won my category for 2013. Yea! 2014 looks bad. I missed the first event and placed 4th in this one. Well, I post the good and not so good. BTW, the EVO's best lap was 1/2 second faster than mine, because I sucked.
