What's wrong with this picture?

[ViaDale]

5th gear and 47 MPH?? That should be 100 mph

Or, 47 in a 55(?)

Or, 47 in a 55(?)

The answer I was looking for was the computer displaying a 121 mile range with a full tank.

It's interesting all the observations being made while I had tunnel vision to the oddity I was focused on.

The inventory bar code that you never removed from the steering column cowl?

See what a cream puff it is? Still has all those factory fresh stickers. I'll have to check, the protective film might still be on the screen. Only driven on track days!

 

[Kawman]

Hey Buddy, your tire pressure is too low!

 

[CT4-Venom]

The track has a 55 mph speed limit.

 

[Kawman]

What, nobody else has any interesting pictures?

OK, I'll go again.

How did you get that sideways? Also, that’s a ton of steering input for going that slow, no?

I would also think it to be excessive input, but when I go back and look at the times I've started to slide there's always a fraction of a second at huge input levels like seen here.

There's no thinking about what you're doing in a situation like this. You need to be reacting instintually, or you've already gone around. For me the training came from growing up riding go-karts, dirtbikes, snowmobiles, cars in snow, etc.

Does anyone see anything wrong here?

 

[Kawman]

How about now?

 

[Kawman]

Anything yet?

 

[Kawman]

WTF dude?

Late braking.

 

[Kawman]

Shit!!!

Late braking.

Yes, but I think he hesitated on his decision to pass. I saw him coming up on me in his full race Porsche Boxster with an LS3 in it. I knew he's faster than me, so I give him a point by and take my foot off the gas for a while. I think he wasn't expecting or ready for my point by, so he didn't jump when it was given. Then he decided to pass and went by me on the inside. That second of indecision resulted in a late pass with him coming in too hot and off line.

No one hurt and nothing serious, but there were 5 crashes into walls and one into the infield that folder a rear wheel of a front wheel drive car under it. This was my first day of this season, first day with the new suspension, first day at this track and first time going off track. A very rough and bumpy track. I probably won't go back. Really looking forward to Watkins Glen over the July 4th weekend. Shooting for a sub 2 minute 10 second lap.

Here's the video. It was only the second session, so I'm still remembering what turn comes next and finding my line.

I forgot you have to come in to be checked if you go off track, which is why I was black flagged.
