It really takes a day at the track to make you realize the GAP between the driver that you thought you were and the driver that you really are...!

By the end of the day I improved 4 secs on this course. We were running a short track. I started doing 1:22 per lap and ended up making 1:18.

The trac control was killing my exit speed...

The fastest cars were making 1:16 and a race prepped CRX made 1:14

wow 4 seconds is quite the improvement on a 120s track!

It was my first time with the Yaris on a track... so my initial times were really crappy... I was searching for the lines and brake points...

I did 3 heats. 15-20 laps each

Yep... he did improve quite a bit by the end of the day. I was faster when we started and he was faster by the end of the day...

Why did you not turn off the trac control??

:redface:

I was so busy the night before getting everything ready that I forgot to take the printed instructions to disable it to track... :bellyroll:

Next time it will be....
