I had a good time at the convention. It was great seeing old faces and def cool meeting new ones. I'll def be there next year and I WILL have my car there.
^ yeah, at the 2005 Convention I had carbotech panther p+ pads on AD22's.. they worked so well I thought my tires were going to come off the wheels! lol..
even though I don't need them, I still wish i had wilwoods....

Here is a lap that Kimme shot with a handheld while I was driving. I was having shifter problems all day and after 2 missed shifts finding 2nd instead of 4th at about 80 in a Friday morning session, I decided to run whole laps in 3rd the rest of the way. Better to get a lot of track time and work on my line than risk blowing things up. She pulls up the tach at the end of the first straight and yes that was 9k

We need to get you more track time so you can figure that out. RUnning 3rd all day was really slowing you down. It is fun to see the lay of the course though from inside the car. I wish more people would post their in-cabin videos.
In Wes's (is that the plural?) car, I was in 3rd all the way around the track with the exception of the front straight where I had to short shift to avoid some really weird alignment issues and on another straight but there I would just lift and coast rather than shift for 3 seconds. I wasn't going for the HPDE champ crown... just to have some fun
