spot later in the course where they broasted you."
LOL! :D I think that Peter has some of it, getting that mega-wide-jelly-bean
through tight transitions really meant that I had to take off a lot of speed.
The rest of the "broasting", I suspect, was speed maintenance in the two big
Sunday right hander turnarounds. I'm just not good yet at hitting and keeping
a high g-load through those, though it's something I think I did better on
Saturday. As far a getting it down on the slaloms/ straighter parts the car
couldn't have been happier, sitting above 4000 with the secondaries open is
/max fun time/ on that motor and I'm told that it sounds good there too.
Though I drove comparatively better on Saturday, in the dry Sunday speeds were
higher and I actually rev-limited a couple of times in 2nd, which is (hmmm,
Falkens 24.9 diameter vs. Dunlops 25.6, clickety click) roughly 68-70 MPH?
Fastest I've ever gone on a dedicated autocross course.

p.s. Anyone, how much improvement could one expect from adjusting tire
weighting? Any drawbacks? Does it affect street behavior?
