Well the results are in

I'm afraid I let you guys down. I was a serial cone killer. The GTR was like a bull in a very small china shop. It was almost comical at how many cones I killed, but each run my lap times were coming down as I was collecting cones. On my last run of the first session I decided to do something different, not hit any cones. I ran a 47.1 which put me second over all. First over all was a state champion auto crosser sitting on 45.6

The second session started and my cone killing ways commenced although this time I just kept killing the same single cone over and over again. My times were 46 flats but then you had to add 2 seconds for that pesky cone. The state champion was kind enough to tell me to just slow down and run a clean run and my time would be great. So on my final run of the session I took his advice, slowed down, accelerated less, braked more and avoided all cones. My run felt so slow............ but I was met with lots of thumbs up as I was parking. I thought they were just happy I had not crushed the time equipment, it turns I had put up a 44.9 best of the day so far. Unfortunately this prompted Cory the state champ to switch from his street tires to R compounds which resulted in a 43.8

So I finished the day second over all with the fastest time on street tires. I think with another session I could have found more time but not enough to over come R compounds or the impovements that he surely would have made as well.

As for next time I'll be in the 911 trying be kinder to cones
