From what I'm hearing I got alot left to get..............Not that I could drink from a open glass while on the track but it's no where near violent.

Good point about not going 100% down the main straight to the dead end corner and down shifting at the apex (not before the turn in), that's the corner that scares me. See all the skid marks going right off the track there.
I figured out which corner to push it on.........# 5 and # 6.........it's my best corner with plenty of run off. The # 1 and # 3 are my worst................But only if it's not muddy, don't want to get the Spider dirty.

I have read and believe that racing is too fast to try to think your way around the track that's why it takes alot of seat time. I believe the unconscious mind plays a big role in this sport.
I'm like a 2 to 3 time a year golfer who's looking for his grove.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your help, I should have titled it "How to determine corner speed"
