    Default NARRC ITR race, in-car video

    This is tough to post but I gotta for my fellow racers - always fun to see yourself on the track. For me it's tough to watch because I go backwards fast at the start.

    Been racing at LRP for more than 10 years and that left hander - forgot how to do it right. Plus I think the new fast line onto No-Name is running over the curb on the right. Giving up too much at the apex there and not getting the run I should. Bigger balls required at the uphill...

    Rob Nimkoff - you gotta post up some of your video so we can see the line!

    Cheers!

    You still look faster than most of the folks in a PCA race

    Ben, I owe you one for giving me a little room when I made that curb-bouncing, tire-smoking, semi-out-of-control pass on lap 2!

    Have you tried it? For the Showroom stock car it's okay while for a mildly sprung car (my B car) not so much. Seems like a bit later in the race you felt more comfortable than in the beginning?

    ntm you pinch the exit like that and you'll be down mph the whole "straight" I don't think that makes sense for anything under 300hp or so...

    and getting in the habit of driving there is bad when the rain comes lol

    but yea... there are multiple ways to skin a cat lol
