Those are some good numbers you got there. That’s impressive. Those bmw and Miatas have leed times usually. If you say you need to hug the cones more I’m thinking you can definitely shave off a couple seconds
In the gif it looks like 5 to 7 inches between the back tire and the last real slalom cone. What looks like the last cone in the images is really not a part of the slalom but I do think I should have been a bit closer. edit: looking at it again, it looks like I'm not late apexing the slalom cone enough to do get the rear tire closer.
3rd run Graver rode with me and he suggested I try braking earlier and smoother. Fifth run I was able to do that and keep my 'think ahead' pretty effectively through the slalom. If I could have done that through the final sections another 1/2 second there. He hadn't driven the course himself so when I talk with him or look thorough videos people are posting I'll see if my choice of line has any noticble difference.
Slippery lot, but my car felt good. So no complaints. Even though I was rolling over the outside of the tires more than I'd like, I'm going to leave the setup and see how much I can improve that with smoother inputs.
Most of our courses are favorable to the smaller 'momentum' cars are Karts. When I walked this one, I said today's theme is "Givin' it up!" In other words, don't even think about putting the right foot down hard or staying in the throttle. Had to sneak up on where more power and speed could be added.
