Here's a little more ITS TR8 data

Oh shit, you don't want to do that!

I tried to let him fly a Cessna but it was a race between how short I could make the pattern and get him on the ground before he tossed his cookies! Fortunately there were no other aircraft in the pattern because I'm not sure what the "diagonal downwind with a 300 degree turn back to the active" is called. Worse than me trying to get to the track facilities after a night of Mexican and beer in Camden.

So I take it that unusual attitudes and/or spin recovery practice would be out of the question.....?

I fly straight and level.....

Let's not post those kind of speeds in public! My wife isn't onto IT.com yet, but given that I am currently not complete getting the dents out of my fender from hitting that gaurd rail they moved, I really don't want to know how fast I was going before I lifted at the apex of the last right hander. All I know is that David S. said I could go through flat and when the car was backwards, I lifted! I think he said something about your line had to be right and you couldn't get behind, but at that point it was too late to argue, so I lifted and broke. Still haven't found the exhaust! What a ride! I'll get it right sometime.

CMP, quite a bit slower. I don't have the data from my laps in the 50s, but on a 51 lap, about 97 into turn 1, 70 or so through 3, 93 before turn 4/5, 70 on carousel exit.

Fastest part of the track (for me) is before turn 8, at 109 mph tops (just touched it once or twice, 107/08 mostly), and then 106 before and if I had cojones grande 105 or so through the kink.
