I am going to do the Glenn with NASA this years been horrible for me with the track.
You're going to love it. I will look for those files on Track Addict.

Wow NYST is all turns! Great videos. Next season for sure need to get out there :)

Three days at the track this past week. (2) at Watkins Glen and (1) at NYST.

How'd you like NYST @TDC ?
Really fun. The back half of the track is like an autox with elevation changes!
I'm a little wary of using the full track at turn in as it seems some outside edges of the track go off camber. I studied your video before heading out there as the 1:34 time you laid down is really quick. Many areas for improvement for me but overall was pleased with the time I laid down.

I watched your video and I really liked your T1 line versus mine. I think I could have carried more speed letting the car run wider on exit like you did, versus my "hug tight to both curbs" approach. You also used plenty of track on track out when you could... I didn't share the video of my adventures off the track outside of T2, hehe.

If you don't mind, the only real comments I'd have on driving improvements would be to be a little smoother here and there. Between T2 & T3 your line was a little jerky, and in that back twisty autocross section your throttle inputs weren't as smooth as I think they could have been.

TDC, how do you have the front camera mounted on the WGI video?

Made an L-bracket mount that attaches to my ZL1 (name of the company) tow hook. The right side of the car is a good choice to help understand how well I'm using the entire track.
The tow hook location is also utilized to mount my front license plate when driving to the track.

Thanks for the feedback. Always room for improvements.

Oooph...that's definitely not easy on a car that's for sure. Not catastrophic but you'll definitely want to check your front wheel for stress fractures. Just in case. Everyone has their moments though. I almost spun coming out of Bill Mitchell Bend in RA once.

Yep, checked the underside of the car and the wheels and continued. Ran another session later with a bunch more 1:34s with a passenger riding along.

I've had two incidents on track, took my buddy's GTA stock car through the grass at Putnam Park and the above video. I generally don't push hard enough to do dumb things, but I wanted to dust the C7 that was behind me :)

This felt a LOT more dramatic than it looks on video :)
Quick hands getting the wheel straight when the two went off. I had the exact same incident when entering the straightaway at NYST; carried to much speed through the left hander . Inspection showed all was ok.
