Default massive thank you to mthreat (TWS DE)

He helped me as instructor in my second day at TWS, with a lot of tips on how to go around the track... and we managed to shave a good 3 second from my previous lap time....
today.. running solo I shaved 2 more second... and I run a (for me) incredible 2.03.3 in my first session of the day!!!!
(than I was consistent with this time but a little more "fighting" around the track)... videos will follow..

this is the telemetry for that lap.

Cool, it was a pleasure to instruct in such a nice car

If you add music to your video, here's a recommended soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krPm9c_PVls

But I think the exhaust sounds good on its own

What would be interesting is if you can post your BEFORE telemetry, and your AFTER telemetry, on the same graph, each in a different color. This shows where you picked up the most time.

Yea but my money is saved for MD TDX Exhaust once he releases it. So I have to hold off on the track events for a couple of months. Gotta still pay for the Convention track day and other stuff as well. I will...just can't do it for a while.
