Poor decision making led to a spin in front of a Larry Oka Race School Miata. I should have waited as it cost me and both cars I passed their next lap time. Both drivers had phenomenal skills and were able to avoid a collision. Be careful out there, don't take unnecessary risks. I am so appreciative that the Miata driver I passed was so calm and understand with me when I apologized in the pits later.

@@FrankShaft I felt so bad for that guy. Put him in an awful position.

😮 bummer, looked like a good run

@Kaubs 15 дней назад

Really felt like I was moving out there! The traffic wouldn’t have been good for a personal best, but it was good practice.

Quick weight shifts are amplified on that off-camber turn. You want to be slow & tight into 14 then feed in gradually as you approach the apex of 15 to carry speed into the main straight. Smooth out the inputs and it won't bite you like that.

@@scottsracing I appreciate the feedback and will keep that in mind.

Damn! Great lap until then yep. Love the data at the bottom, very nice setup. Was it the braking that upset the car a bit too much? Looks like you went from 70 down to 50 and under in a flash right as the car lost grip. Haven’t had my first track day yet. C5Z also.

@@Ranguvar13 the data is a combination of recording video on my phone with TrackAddict, while attached to the car on a Ram mount, and getting pedal data from a Veepeak BLE Bluetooth device plugged into ODB2. I think the spin was a combination of a few things. I dove the Miata too hard thinking I could power by him and took a bad line. This put me into some rubber to the left off of my normal line. Yes, I started braking too hard because the next part of the corner is off camber which I think greatly contributed to the spin, if I had rolled throttle on lightly I kind of wonder if the car would have stuck. Over-slowing is a real problem for me. My car is a 97 base with some mods, nothing too crazy. They’re a blast, hope you get out there and enjoy it. Wonderful platform for track.
