Video of first track weekend with my car!
This was the only session I was able to capture without having some kind of issue with my go pro, but its a good one!
My baby held up great the whole weekend! Temps were solid but oil was getting hot towards the end of sessions, still need to get it in the air and check everything out.
Here's a bit of the aftermath: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...sy?usp=sharing

TLDR; 13:56 for two fun laps

Saw that. A great way to gain experience on vehicle recovery! Wish more people would heed the #driversschool thing. Have idiots in 350Zs (and assorted other loud pieces of shid) who use my street as an exhibition stage of misplaced testosterone all the time! (Which explains how I lost my beloved Shiro Z right in the dang front of my house!)
Thanks for sharing!!

Nice driving, you have good recovery skills and you're looking past the corners, makes you a smooth driver. If I can put my instructor cap on for a second, practice keeping both hands on the wheel between shifts. Treat the shift **** like it's hot, quick snap and back to the wheel, don't linger. Watching you pass another car while one hand steering made me nervous. Doesn't seem like much, but it's a lot harder to correct for sudden loss of traction with half the leverage.

Yep! Gridlife was super cool about it, as long as your vehicle has factory rollover protection (those hoops above our heads) and you have a helmet that fits under it, yer good

And thanks for the advice! I'll incorporate that into my next session (New Orleans in November! 
) Yeah my instructors told me to not shuffle steer also, since that can make a situation like at 8 minutes worse since I lost where center was

Nope, didn't need a rollbar. As long as your car has factory rollover protection (the hoops behind our heads), then Gridlife will let you run
