Holy mother of God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Jerky's day @ "big" Willow)
Best track day I've EVER done!!!
I was REAL intimidated in the 1st. session, track is STUPID fast (see diagram below)!!
by the 3rd. session, I was feeling allot more confident, in the 4th, I had a "moment of Zen", for a few laps, everything was perfect,
I entered the Jerky dimension where, for a short period, everything was right with the world....
I even got to pick my cool azz numberzzzzzz...... (see 3rd. pic!) :-p
I finaly got my "G-tech pro" setup for "record" mode (data logging), see the screenshot below, here's some stats!
Terminal speed @ end of front straight: 4th gear, 5,950Rpm, 106.3mph!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was pulling 1.2g's in left had turns, and pulling a hair over 1.1g in right turns, 0.82g's under braking (I could've braked harder,
but the only hard braking zone was the 1st. corner)!
The car's handling was AMAZING! I could rotate the rear by chopping the throttle closed mid corner,
this would point the car down straight to the apex, I was even doing this on the super fast turns 8 and 9, entry speed into 8 was close to 90mph!!
I would rotate and slide the car into 9 @ 80mph!!
